Topic: RE: Who thinks the Liquid Diet STINKS???
Its killing me too!!!! I had a horrible headache for the first three days and then one day I think I was totaly loosing my mind! But I pulled through. Guess I'm lucky though b/c I'm allowed 4oz of lean meat per day. But even with that its still hard! But we will make it!
Topic: RE: Jan 2nd surgery and Im home!!
I'm having my surgery tomorrow so it's good to hear from someone just out. I hope you have a speedy recovery and keep us updated!!! You've got the initial part completed...soon the weight will be dropping off :)
Topic: RE: January 6th - Tuesday!!!
Just one more day! I am so excited and very ready to have it all over with. Onwards towards my journey to health and fitness!!!! Thanks to everyone for their support and comments. It definitely helps to know you are not alone in this, especially when everyone else around us seems to be eating all those goodies we want/crave.
As of this morning I am down 21 pounds from my highest weight. Yeah!!!!
We ALL can do this and I wish much happiness for those about to embark on the journey. Hang in there because it all starts looking up - even though the liquid part is hard - we just have to keep in mind the end goal and our initial reason for making the choice to have surgery.

I just started the diet today and have already started counting down on the calendar. My surgery is scheduled for Jan. 19th. I keep thinking it will all be worth it when I can take a picture of myself and not cringe!
My doctor recommended high protein Boost or Ensure. If you guys have any other tips to make this process easier, let me know!
Good luck you all!

Topic: RE: Starting my liquid diet today.....
I'm starting my liquid diet today too, so far it is ok, but I am starting to get hungry. I'm hoping it gets easier in the next few days, otherwise this 2 weeks will drag by! I made a huge thing of jello to snack on, so hopefully that will help.
Good luck!
