Pre-Opt Diet Started

I have started my diet and am now on the 15 day count down. This surgery will change my life and hopes for the better. The devil will nolonger dewell in my body I will move forth and the glory of the lord will guide my steps like he has done for so many years. I am fighting a battle that I thought I could never win. Now the journey starts.

I am Right here with you Sister! My surgery 6-26-07 and I started the nasty liquid diet yesterday. Blessings, Valarie

Me, too! I started the liquids today. My surgery is on the 22nd, however. I can't believe it's only 10 days away!

I am on Day 5, My surgery is on June 18th in Mexico. The first day was really hard, but the hungery pains are gone now. Yesterday I moved from full liquids to clear liquids. I discovered if I eat too much Jello I gag. Now that I am clear liquids I have to mix the protein with water instead of milk...its not as good..... Good luck to everyone!! Becky

I lost 12 lbs on my 10 day liquid diet! The first few days were pretty bad, but then I got used to it. When I got really hungry, I would drink chicken/beef broth. This really seemed to curb my appetite. I had the band on June 8th. When I came home from the hospital, Saturday, I had gained some of it back. I guess from the IV's? I have now lost a total of 15 lbs since I started the 10 day diet. I wish you all the best. May God continue to bless!!!
