WLS August 1

Hey Nicki, The liquid diet is what I was afraid of too, until I did it for 10 days. The reason I did it is because my surgery was supposed to be last month, but was cancelled 4 days before surgery, so I was on the liquid diet for 10 days before that. It really wasn't so bad. I think you just have to get your mind in the right place. I can tell you what helped the most and that was going on a low fat/low calorie diet BEFORE the liquid diet. I guess with most of the cravings already gone, moving onto liquids was not nearly as hard as going from normal eating (in my case that is a LOT of food!) to just liquid. Give me a holler and we can talk about it or you can read my profile! Good luck to you sweetie!
