i sure felt like it but kept in mind my ultimate goal. it's all worth it in the end, i keep telling myself. if you can get past this, you can get through the next stage, and the next.

good luck.

I was on a liquid diet for over 4 weeks and I can honestly say I did not cheat.  I know it is hard, but it will help prepare you for a new lifestyle after the surgery.  I was told that be keeping away from all carbs, artificial sweeteners it would help.  I was only able to have my shakes, water, herbal tea and broth. 

It is also important to follow the clear liquid diet, because it empties out the  bowel for the surgery.  You do not want intestinal contents leaking out into your abdomen when you are having your surgery on Wednesday. 

Good Luck.  Wednesday will be here before you know it.  You are just hours away from your surgery and your new life.  It will be worth it, it has been for me.

I had my surgery Tuesday, September 16.  I was on clear liquids for 4 days before my surgery.  I am still on clear liquids, multi vit, calcium citrate, pain meds, flomax, and vits A,D,E,K.  After 2 weeks I'm gonna start jello, cottage cheese, yogart etc. I haven't cheated.  I want my WLS to work.

My question is DID YOU?

Some have some haven't. You're very close and the purpose of the liquid diet is to help shrink the liver.


You can do it./ 2 more days dude 2 more days.


Go drink some water a lot of water Drink an ocean of water

NO!!!  Why would you even think of cheating? The liquid diet is to shrink the liver so your surgery will hopefully go much better, for you and the Doc.

Cheat - get that word out of your mind right now!!  Focus on the big prize - a successful surgery and a better, healthier life!! 

NOW YOURE ALMOST THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cant cheat now... Find the strength keep going.. WOW is you surgery tomorrow????.  Well too late for my motivational speech. BEST OF LUCK to ya keep us posted.
