Topic: 5 days of liquids and seriously LOSING IT!!!
I need some help here people! Im ready to have a serious nervous breakdown! Im 5 days in to my 2 week liquid diet, and I can't take it anymore! Im going out of my mind and about to snap! I keep yelling at my kids and my husband, sobbing at times, and feel like Im losing my mind! The worst part is this- I keep hearing about people whose preop diet is anywhere from 3 days liquids, all the way to NO preop diet. I dont get this! If some dont have to do a diet, why do I have to do 2 WEEKS! I seriously cant stand this anymore!!! How am I supposed to make it another 9 days?!?!?!

Topic: My big day: May 27, 2011
I am scheduled for this Friday. I am confident in my surgeon and his staff. But sometimes I feel that medical people, my surgeon and his staff included, are so used to the routine that they forget this is YOUR FIRST TIME at this! It is all new to us, and it's scary.

Topic: RE: May 25th makes a new ME with VSG!
Hi Rachael! I wish you the best on our surgery date! Do I feel lost??? Honestly, right now, I don't know how to feel. I'm happy and excited, but I'm also scared out of my mind!!!! But I'm determined to do this. We will be successful! WE will succeed! No remorse here. I'm loving my sleeve and I don't even have it yet! (I'm hoping this attitude will last! LOL)
Topic: RE: I miss FOOD!
I am starting to get used to it now, it just still sucks. We had a pot luck at school today.... why couldn't this happen BEFORE my liquids. I am sticking to it though, haven't cheated yet 
It just gets frustrating, and it makes me angry. Oh well, only 5 more days. Thanks for your advise.

Topic: RE: I miss FOOD!
I hate to tell you this, but that is exactly how I felt AFTER having the surgery! After getting out of the hospital I went home to continue my recovery and was watching TV and every commercial is about food and the shows I watched they all ate food. It was a mental hunger, but also my body was starving from only liquids.
A week out of surgery they let me have soft proteins and that helped a little. I also ate everything I could get my hands on before the surgery thinking that it was going to be my last time...blah blah blah. I wish I had not done that. It was harder after surgery because of that.
Stick to your diet, trust me it will help you later and you will be happy you did it. Your body is addicted to food and this will help to break the addiction. That's my advice.
