Hi dreamingofbeaches I am OK I will be joining you Thursday on the liquid diet.

I thought I would start a new thread because for some reason I keep getting confused in the other one.  LOL.  How is everyone doing?  I am on day 2 of the 14 day pre-op diet.  So far so good.  I was hungry last night, which is the time of day I am more hungry in general.  I was bad and ate a couple nuts.  =(  I still had a couple hundred calories left for the day, so I didn't go over on my calories or carbs (and carbs important for the liver shrinkage portion), but I was irritated at myself. I should have just made another shake, because I still had one coming for the day.  After I ate the nuts I rushed off to bed early instead.  Can't be hungry if I am sleeping, right?!  Of course I flipped and flopped for hours, even though I was actually tired. 

I hope everyone is doing well!  We are getting closer and closer!

I started my pre-op diet today too.  My surgery is the day before you.  I have been at work, so it hasn't been too much of a nightmare but it might be a long evening.  When I haven't been busy, I am drinking my water (with SF fruit punch drops) constantly.  I am SOOO glad I found those drops, they are a life saver.  I hear the first three days are the worst.  Just hold your head up and find something to distract you from thinking about food.  I find if I think about it, I am hungry.  If I keep distracted and don't think about it, I am okay.  Good luck, comrade.  We can do this!!

And I'm 44 with a 10 year old. Anyone else worried about cooking family meals post-op?

Surgery scheduled for July 9 for VSG. I am 65, type 2 diabetic, high b/p, high cholesterol, COPD and numerous aches and pains..my first goal it to get off all the medications I am on and to get myself healthy..the weight loss is a side benefit. I am looking forward to having this done, but scared at the same time.
