It's here, two week liquid diet starts tomorrow!
You are built like me--(I am having trouble posting pictures, but will learn soon I'm sure). Well, I bet you are excited to be so close. Best wishes to you, I look forward to seeing your progress!

my build is also similar to Christine's...we should start our own group I think my dr wants me to do a liquid diet pre-op as well, and I am also concerned about whether I can do it...I am really nervous about that
Make sure you ask lots of questions about the two week diet. My binder just said 3 bariatric advantage shakes a day and a low cal dinner. After 2 days I was so sick of thos shakes I asked about switching it up. My nut said I could use other protein shakes and the injury chicken broth so I am not having so much of the same. I have been pretty miserable and today ate half my toddlers apple before it even registered I was doing it. But, seeing the weight come off quickly and knowing surgery is close helps :)
I am scheduled for my surgery on April 11, but only have to do the liquid diet for one week in advance of the surgery, so still have a week of eating solid foods. I am concerned about the liquid diet as well, but looking forward to the weight loss. It is nice to see so many others who will have the surgery the same week. We will have to stick together and support one another! Wishing you all the best!
