I started my two week diet on Monday. I haven't thought it was too bad. The first two days were harder than yesterday and today. I have been hungry, but I am trying not to think about it and if I get too hungry, I have a sugar free pudding. So it was like dessert. I do miss chewing and the sounds associated with chewing. I had a carrot the other night just to remember what crunching sounded like. I did go out and have a big last supper before I started this. It really helps seeing the weight fall off though. I have already lost over 5 pounds in a few days. And I am kind of ocd with writing everything I put into my body down and keeping track of how much I walked, my blood sugar, everything.

11 days to go and I am not really nervous, I just want to be past this stage. I am ready to move on.

why the liquid diet for 2 weeks i have my surgery on may 12 and they are not putting me on a liquid diet till the day before my surgery i am having the lap band surgery with dr sax and was not told anything about a liquid diet?

Hi, I have been on the liquid diet for 5 days. The first three were the toughest. I keep my focus on what I can have and drink often. I found yesterday (day 5) that I was not even thirsty for most of the day. I have to say the toughest part was to smell cooking food. I went to bed early two nights to sleep through the smell. I am okay with it now. I have 7 more days of liquids and then surgery on May 1, 2008. Keep the focus! We can do this knowing we each are going through it. PennyG
