I am starting mine on May 8th. I am not looking forward to it at all. Here is the speech I am already giving myself, "If you had EVER told yourself NO about one Damn thing you wanted to eat, you would not be here right now. Two weeks worth of telling myself NO is the penance for all the times I should have!" So far, that thought process has really helped me start giving myself tiny portions. I am hoping that cutting back now will help make the liquid thing a bit less tragic. I am pulling for all of you. Just remember that liquids have a beginning and an end. Kind of like labor...at least when it's over you will have something beautiful to show for it...YOU!!!!

Yes! I guess we can compare notes, huh! Are you on liquids pre-op? I am for 2 weeks. I am wondering if I am going to feel like doing much or if I will be starving!

hi pamela, my date is may 21 and im very excited and nervous. in is going to be a new beginning. good luck and post how you do.

i started mine on Apr 21 so im on day 6 of the liquid diet. it has really been tough but I agree the worst thing is people bring food into work or the smell of food. Since day 3 i havent really been starving like day 1 and 2. Everybody stay strong the reward is much bigger than these couple of weeks.

Im nervous also, I have 8 days to go too. I didnt get nervous until i had my pre op appointment. then all of the sudden the surgery became more real.
