Well whats done is done. Just jump back on the wagon so to say. Do you have sugarfree popscicles, SF jello, propel water is real good. I've only tried kiwi-strawberry. Just have these things laying around so when you feel a weak moment stick one of these in your mouth. I send a prayer up for you on the 21st. You'll be fine.

No your surgery will not be post poned. Just set your mind to the fact that you can not eat. Just drink, drink, drink. You must stay on liquids. Always do what your Doctor tells you. It is what is best for you. Good luck. I have been on liquids since 2-22-08. I had surgery on 3-7-08. Jill

Honestly, the biggest help to me (I'm now 4 days post op) was to remove any temptations from my house, I do live alone, so this was easy for me to do, as there is no one else in my house to feed. Also, another reccomendation I have, when you start to get a horrible craving, brush your teeth or use mouthwash. This will remove the taste from your mouth, not to mention, you can never have to much dental hygene =) Trust me, after the surgery, the liquid diet is much easier to follow. You really aren't hungry, it's just a matter of handling the cravings. For this, I reccomend either TIVO or movies. Honestly food and restaurant commercials are insanely tempting. Best of luck! You're in my prayers!

I didn't have to do a post liquid diet, I went to mexico and had mine done. Meet the Dr Wednesday night, had surgery Thrusday morning, I am 1 week and 1 day post opt and I am doing great . I did all my test Wednesday day but no liquid diet from the start. I am on liquids now in a feeding tube. i have already lost 30 lbs.... Don't be so hard on yourself tho it will get better just tell yourself it will be worth it in the long run....
