Congrats to you Gina that is such a great start! Keep up the good work. Anne B

12lbs in 6 days in awesome. congratulations. If you are going to full liquids now, what were you on. I should be having surger in Feb and was wondering about the diet. My appt was so long ago with the nutritionist

Hi Joanne, I started on clear liquids on 12/21 and 12/22 (2 days before surgery) then I had nothing at all on the day of surgery and started back on clear liquids the day after--which was sugar free popcicles, jello, decaf tea, and broth I also got a clear liquid protein drink called isopure from the vitamin shop. The clear liquid stage is much tougher than I expected. I had an appt with my nutritionist 2 days before surgery because my initial visit was back in June--it was nice to go over everything one more time. Are you all approved?

hi Gina Great news....just when you needed it. You will find it much easier with more variety in your diet. That is a great weight loss. keep up the good work hugs angel
