The liquid diet is going ok i guess yesterday was probably one of my best days.  Food temptation is hard and i had a couple of  setback back you just keep the focus and keep moving.  So far i lost 12 pounds and i got 2 weeks and 2 days left till july 30th

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!

Woo hoo!  (high 5!)  12 pounds is great!  You are rocking this liquid diet- keep it up and before you know it it will be surgery day!

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...

Keep up the good job.  The liquid diet, IMO, has been one of the hardest parts of this journey.  If you slip, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on.  You're doing a great job and realize you CAN do this!
