Drum roll please!
This coming Monday January 20 I begin my 2 week liquid diet. Wednesday January 29 I do my pre-op, and Monday February 3, I have surgery. I got the date I was hoping for and am very thankful the good Lord has blessed me with this opportunity. The two week diet is going to be tough being surrounded by food, but I am tougher and will prevail. I am determined to go two weeks without eating anything except Greek yogurt, sugar free jello and popsicles. 170 here I come!

Oh, that's soon! Just stay focused during those two weeks. Two weeks isn't really that long, right? You can do anything for just two weeks. Having WLS is definitely worth two weeks of a difficult diet.

No protein shakes? Huh..
It sounds like you are well fortified to do it! I found it almost easier than eating real food, because there was never any real choice involved. I always knew what I was going to be eating for my next meal. Easy to prepare, etc. ...and I knew it was only 2 weeks.
Congrats on everything.
oh yes, I can have protein shakes. I would fall down without them. I do have to be real careful with the insulin though. I gonna stop the slow acting altogether and use the long acting according to what my sugar is showing. If I need the fast acting it will be in tiny amounts. I just had a sugar drop here at work and felt real sick. It's going back up a little now. I going to defeat this disease with the Lord's help in a couple of weeks.
