How am I going to do this?

I just got my packet from the doctor today. Enclosed was my surgery date and information on registration, etc. They also enclosed a booklet on the four phases of the diet. For the first three weeks, I can only have crystal ligh****er, broth and jello. How on earth am I going to go three weeks without food? I barely make it 3 hours. No wonder you lose so much weight the first month or so. Phase 2-4 don't sound like much fun either. If I could do that stuff, I wouldn't need surgery. What am I getting myself into? Weigh****chers was the best diet I'd ever done, and I even cheated on that. I'm really stressed now. I don't know if I can go through with this. No food for 3 weeks!! That doesn't even sound healthy.

First,......BREATH. Second, you must remember what exactly you are doing, you wont feel much like eating some big heavy thing for the first few weeks. Things gotta heal. Have you ever been real sick and unable to keep anything down? I am sure your doctor will not have you do anything that is gonna be bad for you. This is a big life change food will not mean what it once did to you. You will find joy in other things. Good luck in your journey, only you can make the choice to do this or not.

What will be will be, it is all part of the journey, Dana PS BREATH in now BREATH out
