day 6 of liquid diet
Good for you! It won't be long now. My experience with the liquid diet (I did optifast twice) was that the closer I stuck to it, the easier it was. I just kept doing it. I did if for 5 months the first time! Without food. I hope I'll be able to do it as well before my surgery. I don't have a date yet. Good luck to you!

Tweenky, I agree the food temptation was very difficult for me on the pre-op liquid diet. You did the right thing, just get back to what you were doing. I lost 15 lbs. on the pre-op liquid diet and so far have lost a total of 22 lbs. post-op.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about Dr. Lederer or HCMC...
