We got the green light! Surgery is tomorrow at 9am. I thought we would have to pospone it since I was not losing weight-because I was no 100% on a liquid diet. I did lose 2 pounds last week:) I am ready to do this. Can anyone share with me what I will need in the next few weeks. I know I have to be on a liquid diet, but what do folks drink? Water, shakes etc! Thanks for all the support and feedback!

Greetings everyone,

Well, I was suppose to be on this "liquid" diet for the last 10 days and have not been. Went to the doc today and he told me if I donot lose 5 pounds by Monday I will have to pospone the surgery,. I thought since my BMI is only 35.5, I could get away with not dieting- WRONG! The doc straight out and told me I didnt appeared to be committed- and that I will have to be on liquids for the next 3 weeks after the surgery or I will fail. I am confused?...

Happy Friday Everyone. Just a little back ground information. I am 5'5 and 213 pounds. Decided to get the surgery last month- did my pre-opp a few days ago. I am self paid, so the surgery date is Nov 17th. BUT am I really ready?

I am suppose to be on a liquid diet and just have no desire to do so..I mean I have been restricting my eating my entire life and I HATE IT.

With that said. It makes me think that I am not committed. After the surgery I HAVE to restrict myself...
