My weekend huddle

 I am currently on my 2 week liquid diet, and it is getting tough.  Today I went to my sister's surprise party, and it was a challenge.  They had a bunch of make-your-own-burrito food and a pineapple upside down cake.  It all looked so amazing.  I did good and stuck to this damn liquid diet and only drank water.  When I left, I got in the car and started to cry because I miss food so damn much!

So, I know everyone says that it gets better, but I need to know what got you through the pre-op liquid diet.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I have been on the diet since monday, have not cheated at all, and have only lost 5lbs.  I thought people typically loose 20-30lbs before surgery.

I totally understand what you are going through. Just keep up the good work and hang tough. This is the beggining of your journey. It's not easy but it will be worth it.

Its more typical to lose 5 or 10 pounds on that two week liver shrinking diet just before surgery. Do not get discouraged. Without surgery it can take a year to lose 30 pounds for most people.
