My weekend huddle
I am currently on my 2 week liquid diet, and it is getting tough. Today I went to my sister's surprise party, and it was a challenge. They had a bunch of make-your-own-burrito food and a pineapple upside down cake. It all looked so amazing. I did good and stuck to this damn liquid diet and only drank water. When I left, I got in the car and started to cry because I miss food so damn much!
So, I know everyone says that it gets better, but I need to know what got you through the pre-op liquid diet. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Oh, and I have been on the diet since monday, have not cheated at all, and have only lost 5lbs. I thought people typically loose 20-30lbs before surgery.

Its more typical to lose 5 or 10 pounds on that two week liver shrinking diet just before surgery. Do not get discouraged. Without surgery it can take a year to lose 30 pounds for most people.
