My surgery for the 21st of July had been cancelled BUT I am now booked again for the 18th of August. Only one week to go. I am on this liguid diet and finding that today is a rough day. Tummy is grumbly and growling at me. Any sugguestion??

I haven't gotten a surgery date yet and I don't have to do the liquid diet but I've heard it's really hard to get through the first few days. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Maybe try drinking more 0 cal liquid will trick your tummy into thinking it's full.

Anyway just wanted to say congratulations and best of luck.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't. Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened. My Surgery was September 21/2010

Hey..congrats on getting a surgery date!!
Did your dietician say what you could drink besides the ensure? If you retain water I wouldn't drink a whole lot. I wish I had some suggestions for you but unfortunately I don't.
Just look on the bright side you have only five more days of liquid then it's off to the next step!

EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!! You go in on Wednesday!! Holy smokes!!
Ok ok ok I'm jealous as I still have to wait a month beyond that but my time is coming.

If you can plow through the next few days with the mindtset of mind over matter-- you're going to succeed in maintaining your weight or dropping a few lbs. Just stay positive and keep moving. The 18th is in sight now and then you'll smooth sailing on the other side.

What surgery are you having?
