Started the 10-day liquid diet today!

...Let the countdown begin! Only 10 days to surgery. I'm sipping on chicken broth in a thermos right now. I'm so psyched for the big day now. I've been on this journey a year and it's so surreal to me that the big day is almost here. My new life begins today. I could almost cry! (((Hugs))) Michelle

Hi, Michelle! I'm from Mn, too! I also started my 14 day liquid diet...why 14 days? I don't know, just what the doctor ordered! Anyway, I am on day six!!!! And, my surgery is scheduled for 5/29. Halleluah!!! I've been doing great on the liq diet, but last night was hard...my daughters and four grandkids were here and had lots of snacks! I also grilled brats and hotdogs for them......OMG! Amy tried to make me feel better by saying the buns were moldy! I'm having slimfast and lots of water with crystal lite. Also, sugar free popsicles. I found some sugar free jello that I haven't tried yet. I forgot about broth!!! That sounds good! Michelle, my daughter wanted to see how much I lost so far on this diet, 10 LBS!! Then she said, See you don't need the surgery!!! I know she is just worried about possible complications but she doesn't get it. I am 52 and really tired of gaining back plus more, every time I try to diet. She has put on a little weight and is struggling, so, maybe she will become more understanding as time goes on. I'm not mad but, y'know, I had someone else say the same thing!!! Thanks for reminding me about broth!! Good luck to you and maybe we can commiserate some more!!! Jean

Michelle, I am soooooooo excited for you! How is it going so far? you are on your way!!! Tammi

I started mine Sat. I have~~ 5 ~~~~ more days! Chicken broth is my best friend! Surgery is may 29th I hope I can endure the liquids. I do think it is getting a little better!! Well maybe1 I am drinking about 2 gallons of crystal lite so that helps! I just hope my liver is getting smaller! I seem to be lol!! best wishes and keep in touch! Labugmom Lynn
