soumds sbout right to me - also sounds like you have made it so congrates

DAVID-great list!! You should save list on your profile (if you haven't already)-it would be a big help for those following in your footsteps. Back in the stoneages, when I had my WLS, we didn't have to do liquids, etc...not sure I'd have made it. You have PROVEN already what a successful WLSer you're gonna be!!

Hear! Hear! I love your list, nicely done!!

Thanks for the encouraging comments. Randy and I have both felt the liquid diet has gone fairly easily for us. Randy has done very well at cutting down on his smoking. He went from smoking 1.5 packs a day to 5 cigs a day. He will not smoke anything for 8 hours before surgery I know that has been harder on him since he is cutting smoking and food at the same time. As of this morning I have lost 10 pounds since we started the liquid diet on sunday a week ago. To me this does not seam like a lot for a liquid diet.
