I started my pre-op liquid diet today!  I cant wait to see how much I lose just with this...not to mention after the surgery!

I had chicken broth, milk, and Carnation Instant Breakfast today.  Tomorrow I will be making some Jello to go with it.

I have surgery on the 30th at PNC Methodist.  Every day seems to go so slow and I wi**** were already here!  I made out a new health care directive and Im all set...now why cant the clock move a bit faster? 

Good Luck on the 10 Day. I am actually looking forward to it also. A Goal thing that I set with myself. I start my 10 Day on Dec 11. I also go to PNC and I am Having my Surgery Dec 21 with Svendsen....He was all booked up and that was his earliest date available. I believe I now found another one that took a earlier Date LOL..Kidding ya. Wish you the Best and Keep in Contact

I'm with Svendsen too, on the 7th! What surgery are you having? :) 

 I wish you the best. This initial weight loss will really help your surgeon during the operation.

Have you joined our "South of the River coffee group?

Im very shy and dont do well in groups so I dont go to coffee.  Im not shy because of my weight but I have social anxiety so I tend to be homebound a lot.  Even going to the initial seminar for PNC was difficult for me. 

Im on day 3 of liquids and doing great.  I was worried about being hungry but Im really not.  The Carnation Instant Breakfast stuff is keeping me feeling full and when I need something between Im adding broth and Jello.  Liquid diets have downfalls though...no solids in = no solids out :(

On the 29th...I will post how much I lost on the liquids too..stay tuned!

Mini-Update:

Thanksgiving was fine...I had broth and Carnation!  We did our big meal before my liquid diet started.  I am starting to lose some weight but not as much as Id hoped.  Looking forward to surgery in a couple days!

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow morning and have surgery on the 13th.  I will be interested to hear how your first week goes.  I really am nervous...and don't know why...  Best of luck!!
