Congrats!!! That's the day my surgery is too! I start my 10 day diet on the 24th and then a 3 day liquid before the surgery. Looking forward to it!

Thanks ya'll.
Jen, I can hold most things. The shakes are ok. The first few days I couldn't do cold things. Today I realized one of the PowerAde Zeros is what is causing my runs to the bathroom. No more grape for me.
I weighed earlier tonight before Support Group. I'm down 7 lbs since surgery, but 42 since I started the WLS process.
One other note: I grew up in Stigler and spent many summers around your neck of the woods. :) Small world.

I had a really hard time with the liquid phase. I couldn't do a whole lot of the Power Ade and the V-8 Splash. I kept several cups by me so I could rotate what I was drinking and I couldn't do anything really hot or cold at all. I couldn't tolerate the protein shakes very much at all. I was lucky if I could choke down one a day. Eventually, I was making canned soup (clear broth) and draining the liquid and drinking that.
Of course, that first 1/4 of cottage cheese was heavenly! I remember thinking it was the best thing in the world! Just hang in there, you'll make it thru and you should already be noticing some weight come off, which is great motivation to stick to the plan!

Dana, congratulations on your surgery. I am 13 months out. I had a lot of problems with drinking things. I still can't drink anything with caffiene in it.......it just hurts my pouch. I can't do anything creamy either. Once you start on your soft foods it will be alot better.
