How are you doing on your diet? Are you having any problems being faithful? Good luck!

Mine is scheduled for today also. I consider myself lucky in that my surgeon didn't require the pre-op liquid diet. I'm sure that the post op liquid diet will be so much easier than the pre-op simply because it's a HAVE too or surgery again. I'm looking forward to 2 oz of ensure plus filling me up for my meals. I have all my protein powder, dry milk and instant breakfasts waiting for me. I know I'm going to miss chewing for these couple weeks but what's a couple weeks in the long view. So don't beat yourself up or second guess everything. The surgeon has faith in you, you should too. I know you can do it.

Hi Beth, I have been on the "liquid diet" for a couple weeks, only thing is it was so hard for me to keep from cheating. My surgery is scheduled for 11AM tomorrow morning and now I'm freaking out because I didnt lose the weight I was instructed to. I know I have to prepare for the worst (surgeon cancelling or rescheduling my surgery because I didnt comply with his instructions). Do yourself a favor and stick to the doctors orders or you'll end up like me... unable to get a peaceful night of sleep the night before surgery and fearing for the worst.

Good luck today- we will be praying for you!!!!!

OH beth...I totally hear you! I have been miserable on mine! Surgery for me is next Monday. I have cheated twice, but I made sure they were with high protein food and not much. I think our "HEAD" hunger is getting the best of us! I will keep you in my thoughts as we fight this battle together! GOOD LUCK!
