July 16th RNY !!

Two weeks from tomorrow!  Is it really finally happening?  I've started my 2 week liquid diet today, although the first week I am allowed one meal of a protein and a vegetable per day.... the second week is only liquids.  I'm so excited!  Not a second of hesitation in my mind and there never has been.   

Congratulations on your date.
During those tough moments, remind yourself that the Optifast is required for success in your journey.

I'll be right there with you, Theresa. I'm scheduled for one-week pre-op diet next week with surgery on 7/16. Anxious, excited and determined to get through this first step. I wish you all the best!

Thanks for the well wishes... I haven't been here much... seems like there are so many things I'm trying to get done before surgery.   My liquid diet is going well and this week is flying by, fortunately!   Good luck to you as well...  Teresa

I too am scheduled for the 16th and am on the liquids...and I am really struggling with it. I am hoping it will be easier during the work week when I have other things to focus on than food!!!

Hi Gay...   I hope your liquid diet is going better for you now...  the first 3 days are pretty rough, but I've done liquid before, so I knew what to expect.  Once you get the carbs out of your system it seems to be much easier - for me anyway.   Fortunately, my only daughter still at home is 19, so she's kind of on her own for food right now... that way I don't have to cook for her or look at food and that really helps.  If you have to cook for your family that would make it much harder.  Feel free to write again if you need a cheerleader.  I'm pretty fired up right now and ready to go!   I wish you the best!  Teresa

Congrats. I am also having my surgery on July 16th. I am not on a liquid diet this week. But I am on the protein drinks and the small meal a day. I am getting excited for the 16th to hurry up and get here. I am ready for the new start to a new lifestyle.

Christina,  Our date is coming up quickly isn't it?  After all the time it takes to get here its finally here.  So far, I've not had a single doubt about whether this is the thing to do.  I only get more sure as time goes on.  I hope I still feel this way Monday evening!     Something tells me I won't be dancing.  LOL   Good luck to you and stay in touch!!    Teresa
