I'm so ready to have surgery and get thru the anticipation. The not knowing of eating very little and feeling full and how that feels is killing me !! In the early 90s i lost 125 lbs on a total liquid diet in four months, that was great, but the support was not there, it lasted abou 1 year. I am ready  for oct 10 !

Good luck to the both of you! Day 1 and 2 may be the worst (it was for me and for some people I've talked to)... but keep drinking LOTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS of water and get as much protein as you can out of a shake. SIP SLOWLY. Make the shake last a long time.

GOOD LUCK!

I started today. It hasn't been that bad really. So far ive had a shake, sf fudgesicle, half cup of cottage cheese, and just finidhed a cup of broth with hot sauce in it. I do think its mind over matter.....ive been trying to keep REALLY busy today too!! Good luck when you start!!

I started liquid diet today too! It's really not bad, but your lucky that you can eat cottage cheese. All I'm drinking are the shakes and water with crystal light. Good Lucky, only 13 more days and counting

depending on ur surgeons preop diet rules you'll be able to eat different things. i'm not allowed any solids. only shakes and clear liquids. my diet is also two weeks long.
the hardest part for me has been day two and three. i'm hoping day four goes by better tomorrow.
day one was a breeze b/c it was a change and something new. but kinda went down hill in energy level since then. i slept most of today away. i feel so lazy but i'm soooo tired.
