Liquid diet

Ok, I cleaned out the fridge, and the cupboards, I start the 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. Surgery set for July 10th. Wish me luck, and a prayer or two wouldnt hurt either!! Thanks!!

Sounds like you are all set. I pray God gives the comfort and strength that you need.

I know you can do it. this surgery mean to much to all of us to screw it up by not doing what we are supposed to like a liquid diet. lucky for you you can clean out your fridge and cupboards. I have 3 children who still need to eat while I am on a liquid diet. so I plan on keep only kid food in the house, mac & cheese , hotdogs, chicken nuggets, etc. this is going to work for you and you can do it

Luckily, DH is on a dr approved diet as well, and I told the kids, (20 and 18) they have to feed themselves till we get through this!! In all, everyone one is really supportive! Good luck to you...

Betsy, we are surgery sisters! My date is 7/10, too and I'm starting the LD tomorrow as well! Good plan...to clean out fridge and cupboards! I stocked up on sugar free jello and popsicles!!! I'm using Slimfast with protein and I bought some Unjury (unflavored) for my protein. I started my Flintstones chewable vitamins today. If you look at my blog, you'll see that I've been thru this before, when my surg had to be cancelled!!! It's only me and my DH at home now, our girls are 30 and 32 yo, so I don't have to worry about preparing meals for the family, either. My DH is to fend for himself! He was supportive before and said he ate less because he felt guilty that I couldn't eat what he was having! Actually, he has decided to have WLS, too! Anyway, Betsy...we can do this!!!! Take care, Jean

Yay!!! Liquids, I am having so much fun!! Its just a matter of a few days, 14 to be exact, I figure, this is a small price to pay to get what I have wanted for so long!! Good luck, lets keep in touch!! Thanks for the encouraging words, every last one helps!! Betsy
