Today the 2 week full liquid diet begins
RNY on 05/22/12
Today I start my full liquid diet until surgery on the 22nd...I have noticed others on here have said that the first 4 days are the hardest, I am just ready to get through this next two weeks and on to surgery! For the last two weeks I have been mostly on liquids (3-4 protein shakes a day and 1 meal per my surgeon) and I have lost 11 lbs in the last week. On my last pre-op on Friday they said as long as I follow their instructions I should lose at least that much more before surgery....anyway wish me luck with the full liquids!!!

Have a list of things you can do that will distract you when you get hungry. There may be times when you think "if I can't do this, how I will do it after surgery?". Just remember that AFTER surgery, you won't feel hungry. When I think back, I realized that I gave up not just favorite foods, but alcohol and caffeine at the same time - no wonder I was so darned cranky!
You'll do great, just keep your eye on the prize!
