I'm very jealous of people that don't have to do a full two weeks of liquids. I'm only on day two of the 2 week liquid diet and I've already starting eyeballing the salt to gnaw off my arm. It doesn't help when your wife has pizza and that smell is everywhere and then your step children make chicken and I'm sipping on a shake. 13 days to go..I can do it!

I couldn't imagine anyone backing out since this surgery doesn't exactly happen over night. I'm scheduled for 11:00 AM, too.

I was a bit disappointed that my surgeon requires NOTHING for a pre-op diet. I'm going to cut to 1500 calories per day just because I'm inspired. I am so sorry for those of you doing all of the liquid stuff. I would find cardboard appealing after a day. So my thoughts are with you! But, you will get a great jump start on your loss!

Since I was expecting to have a two week diet, my sister took my before pics on Tuesday. Anybody else taken pics or measurements yet?

I was planning on doing pictures and measurements this weekend while the step children are with their dad. They have a habit of commenting and adding to the embarassment of having my picture taken with my shirt off. Then the pictures will be password locked on my computer so they can't look at it until I've lost enough wait to show a big difference. The liquid diet sucks. I won't lie. I'm on day 3 of it and bouncing between broth, crystal lite, Carnation instant breakfast sugar free shakes and Jell-O is making me nuts. Yet I push on towards the goal line.

I not only have 2 weeks of liquids...I have 17 days of liquids. My doc wants me to start march 1, not March 4. Ugh. I hate milk, and have bought the nectar lemonade and Fuzzy navel. I like them, the smell is kinda yucky, but I am having a problem drinking it all. I have started this week just drinking one for breakfast, next week brfst and dinner, and then all the way starting march one.

I am freaking out a bit. My blood sugar dropped bad yesterday, I had a bad stressful day at work (I am a middle school teacher), did not eat or drink hardly at all due to the stress (and yes, I know this is not that way to do it...I just forgot about it all, today was way better). I almost passed out in my car on the way home from work. Everything went fuzzy and I started getting pains in my head. But like I said, today was better.

I think I am just getting more and more nervous. I need to relax, I think I may call my PCP and get something for my nerves. Less than a month to go...lord help me!
