I'm very fortunate to only have to do a 24 hour liquid diet in advance of the surgery. I plan to have protein shakes for breakfast and lunch with water or Crystal Light in between and nothing bu****er after 4pm (my own decision, not doctor's). I want everything nice and clean when he goes in!

I have to say that my biggest success so far, weight-loss wise, has been making this decision and making it this far in the process. My surgery is March 30 and I'm very excited! I sat on the fence for 2 1/2 years making this decision, researching while trying to do it through diet and exercise alone. Ultimately, I decided that I'm just spinning my wheels and I need this tool to get me through the constant failure barrier. No pun intended, but I feel already as though a big weight has been lifted. Soon it will be for real!
Btw, I think this group was a wonderful idea. Since we are all starting at roughly the same time, we can check in with one another to discuss experiences and give support. This is great! Thank you!

Topic: what do you do when you're bored the liquid diet?
I'm doing great on mine but must admit its getting pretty old and with 6 days left on it i'd love some suggestions that other people have tried!

My biggest success so far is getting all my protein in. It is hard in the beginning simply because our stomachs can't hold very much. Have to drink all day long, but I don't have the energy/strength I need if I don't get it all in. Best of luck to you on Monday!
