So far today I have moved a dresser from one room to another then a big chest from the living room to the space where the dresser was. I have not started the liquid til tommorrow but I'm drinking tea now though i have eatten french toast (sorry) to get ride of the bread. I am not looking forward to this though.

are you nervous? I saw your profile and you have a lovely family. Your little girl looks like she has attitude. You will be so happy you did this in the months ahead. I hope today is not to hard on you and keep those sugar free popciles for your self!

Liquid diet starts tommorrow, pre op test to be done the 7th and surgery on the 20 th. It's on folks

The two week liquid diet is really important...Your surgeon wouldn't have told you to do it - if it wasn't. Before surgery I would completely agree with you about this statement "if i could go 2 weeks on a liquid diet I wouldn't need this surgery..." but in the long run this is about making healthy changes in our eating habits.. We all struggle (even as a post op; I am right now actually)- just be careful!! More than likely this is to shrink your liver.. Plus you will lose a few pounds before surgery. If you absolutely feel like you're going to be ill from not eating, I would eat something like Tuna or a protein shake. It seems some people have to do that optifast diet before. I, like you had, to do two weeks and It was rough. I lost 21lbs though.. So I can't complain too much. Good Luck on your surgery Katrina

Thank you, and thank you again. I wish you all the best. I will include you in my prayers. I too am having surgery tomorrow. There is strength in numbers. Let's all stick together on this journey.
