Topic: RE: Oct. 9 is coming fast
Hi KKCPGP,
I too am October 9th!! As someone who is in the midst of this with you (well, sort of!) I say just stick with it and keep reminding yourself of why you're doing it. And if you have someone willing to support you it'll be much easier. My husband feeds our daughter before I get home and he eats as little as possible in front of me just to avoid temptation.
What procedure are you having done? I'm RNY.

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet!
I am having my WLS Oct 9, 2012. I started my liquid diet last week. It was really hard the first couple of days... I had no energy and the protein shake made my throat really dry. I found that having a variety really helped out. I got some different low-sodium broths (veggie, french onion, beef, etc) and have been mixing and matching. I also have a couple of different flavors of protein shakes (I got Costco's 'Premier' brand) and different flavors of sugar-free jello. Having variety curbs the cravings somewhat and makes it much easier to stick to. Feel free to hit me up with any questions as I go through this! Less than a week to go for me until surgery!!!
