 I am new to this site, but I just wanted to say good luck to everyone who has made this life changing decision. I start my liquid only diet this Friday 4-3-09 for 10 days. My surgery is in 12 days and counting. I am just now starting to get a little nervous but also very excited to get the weight loss ball rolling.

Good luck and speed recovery - mine is next Tuesday.  Sounds like you must know what you are doing with some in your family having already had the surgery.  I assume they did well and are maintaining?

My doctor puts his patients on a milk diet before surgery.  So, I get 24 to 32 ounces of skim milk, 3 times per day, for 2 weeks.  No solid food at all.  I am lactose intolerant from my DS in 2002 so I am drinking light soy milk and lactose free milk. 

I am having a revision from the DS to a gastrectomy and a bunch of other repairs on April 14.....it's a very long story!

I'm on day 2 of the milk diet and it's going OK, but I sure do miss food!

Does your surgeon have a website? Sometimes they'll have the packets downloadable on the site. If not, just call your doctor and ask that they send you an e-mail with a copy of the packet as an attachment.
