Started my 10 day diet

This is going to be fun.  10 days, 4 adkins shakes a day and all the clear suger free low/no cal liquid I want.  *sigh*

Oh well, its exciting anyways

I won't lie - it will be hard and you may find some old emotional baggage getting triggered.  The good news is that it gets better and really is just a short time in your life.  Having a good support system around you will really help.

Good luck!

The good news is that Atkins shakes taste so much better than Slim Fast Low Carb. I've been drinking the Dark Chocolate one. Not bad.

10 more days....exciting!

I like the dark chocolate too.  I bought a blender to max them with ice and it makes a nice long drink

Sugar free gum!  I hope it is allowed cause I was already feeling hungry (all psychological I hardly eat before noon anyways) and grabbed a piece of gum and felt so much better.

My surgeon allows it before surgery but not after (too much risk of swallowing it and blocking the opening to the pouch)

I've been on 5 shakes a day no food for over two weeks now and honestly it does get easier but if you cheat it will kind of "reset" your brain to wanting real food and make it that much harder.  

Just do you best and remember it's only a small little blip of time in your life...and its worth it.
