This bites the big one....

Thanks for all your responses. Actually im beginning to feel a bit better now. Those sugar free ice pops help a bit. I need to pick up some Crystal light tomorrow. Ive also got some beef broth. I will definitely miss my creamy mushroom soup...lol.  Yep, in a few days it will all be over. I would love nothing more than to go walking again but my arthritis in both knees is gonna slow that one down for a bit. No cartiledge left in either one. But with the weight off it should improve. Thanks again for being there. Jeff

Hey Jeff just to let you know there are more flavors with the walmart version of crystal light. At a slightly cheaper price

I had 10 days of the diet and lost 19 pounds.  All I can say is it was no fun, but very worth it.  My surgery went well because I had shrunk my liver.  Keep it up!!!!

I think the toughest part of this whole process was the the 14 day liquid diet. I still remember it. It's all down hill from that point! Tough it out, it'll be worth it, and you'll be a better man because of it.

Im in the same boat and have done the liquid all this week just to see how bad it is and I AGREE THAT IT TOTALLY SUCKS!  Now I don't have a surgury date yet but wanted to try in in preparing for my day.  I just keep thinking of my Dr's diet transition to solid food month 2 pre-op.  Breakfast is a 1/4 of a bananna and a 4oz shake.  I asked my Dr if that would fill me up post op and he told me I'd be so full it would take me a 1/2 hr to eat that much.  WOW!  I can't wait for that to happen.  That's what motivates me.  Unlike now where I could down a large pizza and still be hungary.

Well, looks like I got used to the liquids a bit. No more food, er, liquids after tonight. Im going in tomorrow and you all cant stop me!!

Great news! Soft food are next, I guess. Tex-Mex this month? Bet you're losing fast, though.

I can't give you any advice because I gained 25 pounds in the three months from my initial consult until the surgery day.
