first day of liquids
I found it just made it so 'real' once I started the shakes. It's very exciting! Don't be surprised if you have a moment or two of cold feet, which seems absurd after how long and hard we've worked to get ready. I found after the number of days that it wasn't unusual to only get 3 servings of the shakes / bars in, it's funny how we can get used to eating so few calories so quickly. Doing your 1week weigh-in is pretty rewarding and your surgery will be here in no time. Be good to yourself during this time. Congratulations on getting to this point!
congrats, your long wait is almost coming to an end. this is what we all wait for.
if your shakes are sweet and you are having three a day, im thinking you are going to moncton, cause we do it a bit differently in bathurst. i tried to top up with lots of water so i felt full. after day three i found it was easier. once i started the shakes i was so excited cause i knew within a few days i was going to be on the losers bench. i didnt really have second thoughts at all. i wanted it sooooooo bad. any questions throw them out there for us. we will all answer as much as we can.
HW (last known weigh in)=452.5

Congrats!!
You will be in VERY good hands with Dr B!! And the team is also awesome support!!
You will be fine, the shakes aren't the best, but well worth it, just remember the reason for it, to shrink your livers and it will make the SURGERY go way easier.
Keep us posted!! Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!
