The liquid diet has not bothered me. My wife and kids have not been quite as supportive but they all feel ok that I have not joined them at the table at meal time.

We have the same surgery date. How are you doing on your liquid diet. I'm not having too bad of time at this time. My wife is doing the diet with me and that is a huge help. Good luck with your journey and hope to see both of ours progress on posts in the future.
