Pre-Op Diet Starts Today!! Feels Real Now...
Wow, I can't believe it is FINALLY within sight...the end of the tunnel!! woohoooo...Today begins my Pre-op Liquid diet, I am a little scared about not failing at it but think I will probably be fine, at least today, it will be day 2 and 3 I think that will be hard, but I will just keep telling myself---ALMOST THERE!! And if that doesn't work I will remind myself of Cheryl's mantra for the pre-op diet "if I eat food I will die in surgery" that seems inspiring enough. Anyone else got any tips and tricks they used while on the liquid diet, any stories (horror) of what happens if you don't follow it.....Anyways, I haven't been on here much lately as I was in the holding pattern--between my first appt. with Dr Ramaswamy and the pre-op diet so not much was going on...I did pop on now and then to look at before and after pictures, they are always inspiring...I let my husband take my "before" picture, which I can hardly look at, and don't plan to post it until I have an "after" to put right next to it!! LOL...I just look at it and don't even know who that fat lady is! I have started a savings acct. for my plastic surgery 2 yrs from now, I will def. want to have some removal done, and my research into what insurances will cover what has been fruitless, so I started saving, literally penny by penny 
wi**** wasn't so expensive or considered cosmetic after WLS...maybe in the future it will be. I wish there were tricks and tips to minimize the sag...my mom swears by skim milk to keep skin elastic, but she has never had to have WLS...anyways thats my update for now.

I sympathize. I started my Pre-Op diet today as well.. I am August 6th in Columbia...Hang in there. I have been practicing the past week. One day at a time, one meal replacement at a time. I found good protein drinks and lots of water helps.
I am also going to the support group to keep my mind occupied.
