Hey NSS,

All liquids was hard at first - I actually had to do 3 weeks, as my 2 week trial and my 8 day pre-op were back-to-back. It is really a time when you learn what you're made of.

I have actually blogged about it all, pre-and post-op, good, bad and ugly - you can check it out on the link below. :)

Totally happy to answer your questions!

Cheers,
Jenn

Hey Tam: Don't worry about the diet yet. No matter what weight you see him
with . He will ask you then to lose the 30 lbs. and that will be even harder. I'm
not saying to go the other way , what I did... The last few weeks I probably
put my BMI over his 60 limit. Do you know what your BMI is? You can google
BMI calculator. Type in your height and weight and it will tell you. He said
that he prefers the patient be under 60 BMI. Mine was 61. something, if I
had to be good the last few weeks mine would have probably been at or
below that. Anyway, he told me that he would like me to prove to him that
I am serious about losing the weight as not to waste both our times. Losing
the 30 lbs. will prove that to him.

Edit: P.S. Oh, that's dumb. There is a BMI calculator right here in the site.
I haven't been in looking around too much. Just noticed it now. i have just
been checking messages. Didn't snope into other stuff...LOL
