Hi everybody.

My name is Crystal and I joined the site in March but have not used it much. Since March I have pushed through and completed all of my requirements. I have insurance approval and am now waiting for my surgery date.

I am going for a RNY bypass and am both excited and nervous.

I started my liquid diet today and wow is this difficult. It is 9am and my stomach is already doing the Cartman "HEY! WHERE IS MY POT PIE!??"

Wish me luck!

Hi Crystal,
Welcome.  Good luck on your surgery.  I understand how difficult the liquid diet is, trust me everyday gets easier.

This is a good place to get support and vent if you need to.  Everyone here is really nice and nobody judges you.  I have never felt like I had so many friends in one location.  We all know what you are going through

Hope to hear from you soon

Dear Crystal:

Welcome, welcome, welcome and CONGRATULATIONS on taking control of your life.

The liquid diet got easier for me each day.  It really helped me to realize just how often I put something in my mouth unnecessarily.  Hand in there, it WILL get better.

I'm glad to posted and please, come back often.  It is great to have friends that understand what you are going through and this support is very important to your success.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

 Hi Crystal!

You are at the countdown of a wonderful, and exciting journey!  The liquid diet is difficult but by the third day, I was fine.  Sugar free popsicles and hot tea were my salvation.  Also, keep focused on your goal of surgery.  That helped me toe the line as well.  I really wanted lap surgery and I knew if I did not stick to the liquid diet my surgeon would do my surgery open.  That was a HUGE motivator.  

Good luck and hang in there!
