Its to cold to walk, I'm cleaning out cabinets now.  This is just a break.  Got to get moving somehow! 

I'll check  back in at the end of the day and let you know how it went. 

Congrats to us!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited i cant see straight. and for that reason I feel super pumped..  I am sure it will get harder as these 2 weeks go on...but  the beginning of the end of the struggle with no help is in sight.

Just 14 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have had a protein shake and a bottle of water...
will have another for lunch  then
my Healthy Choice meal  and ALL my water.....

It is SOOO close now ya'll......  We are almost there.

It really does seem real now doesn't it?  I did really great today so far.  I have not eaten anything that was not on my post this morning.  I have kept busy with cleaning.  It helped me keep my mind off being hungry. 

Actually, It wasn't that bad.  There was plenty to eat.  It is all the road to a wonderful end.

YIPPEEE!  Here we go!!

I'm playing with my diet. My doc doesn't require a strict liquid two week before diet. However, I'm packing in the protein shakes, and alternating every other day with replacing my healthy evening meal with a shake. I'm having trouble getting in veggies, so I hope the low sodium V-8 counts!

I;m not sure about the V-8 but it has to be better than a baked potato or fries.  LOL...

I think it is mostly about the sugar and carbs. 

I did great yesterday.  I had a little headache last night, I hope it is the start of a cold nad not the result of the diet.   I guess it doesn't matter, I;m still so glad to be here that a truck could run over my head and I would still crawl to the surgery table on Feb. 9th. 

Good luck to you!   WE CAN DO THIS>>>>>>>YES WE CAN!
