Topic: RE: Who thinks the Liquid Diet STINKS???
GIRL we all feel the same !! I have been on my pre-op Liquid diet since Dec 26th.. My surgery is on Jan 9th FRIDAY !!! You can do it though ... Just take one day at a time.. What kills me is making dinner for my family. If I didn't have my daughters I would just tell my husband to go make himself something lol.. Like right now I have a pot roast in the oven and the smell is KILLING ME !! I just have alot of Sugar Free Puddings and stuff lol...

I completely understand where you are coming from! I am having my surgery on Tuesday Jan 6th, so I started my liquid diet on Dec 23. It has been soooo frusterating. Especially going through it during the holidays. The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I want an easy post op. If i get just alittle bit off prior to my surgery that is less that I am going to struggle with after. My dr told me that the only reason they have us do the liquids prior to surgery is to shrink the liver. This will allow them to get to the stomach easier. And there is less risk that they will have to open you up. And I dont know about you but I would rather have several small cuts than one really really large on. Just hang in there and be strong. I know it is hard!!! Good Luck!!

Elly,
You're right, it does help to share with others who truly understand our experiences, feelings, and emotions. Family and friends can be very supportive, but you never know how this feels unless you've been there! Just think, we're only beginning this journey... imagine what the next year will bring! All kinds of great things!!!! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Topic: Who thinks the Liquid Diet STINKS???
OMG!!! I am so sick of this freakin' liquid diet! 2 WEEKS is an awful lot to ask of someone who is totally addicted to food. It's like asking someone who has smoked for 20 years to quit cold turkey for 2 weeks!!
I guess I am just failing to see the entire point of the total sugar free liquids. Why can't I have an egg... or a bowl of low sugar oatmeal... or some toast? I don't want to go to TGI Fridays and totally pig out... I just want a little something I can CHEW!!!
I dunno... it just seems like an awful lot to ask of us..
There, I'm through.

OMG! I guess this means I'm having surgery in only 2 days. I can't believe it is almost here! Yes, I'm nervous, and very, very excited. I am so sick of being fat! My prayers are also with you and with all of our January losers!
