Liquid Diet

Hello, I am lurker, I just finished my last pre-op visited today, I scheduled to have surgery on October 10. I have to started my diet right after Labor Day, I know it is going to be hard. Wish me luck. Many Blessings, Monette

You can do it! Just remember it's all leading up to a better you! Janet

Hi Monette I had my surgery last Thursday so i am almost 5 days out. I am doing well. Your date will be here before you know it. I lost 15 pounds in the 3-4 weeks preop. That was a little boost to me. I will go for my 2 week post op a week from Friday so I will have my official weigh in then. I am not getting obesessed about the scale. You are in my toughts and prayers. The liquid phase is difficult before surgery because you are hungry. Try to keep busy (knit, crochet, craft) go for walks and keep your mind off of it. Netta

I'm a lurker too. I'm also new to this site. I just finshed my Pre Op tests. My next Dr's appt is Sept 13 and I will be scheduleing my surgery for some time in Oct. I'm not looking to forward to the 2 week liquid diet either. Let me know how it goes? Also have you found any good protein drinks? I need to start testing them.
