Day 6 of my LD

This has got to be one of the hardest things I've ever done. I swear I think I'm going crazy because all I do is think of food. It seems like all the commercials have food in them now, my tv shows have people eating in them, all my friends who never went out to eat are now asking me, company picnic, fathers day picnic, etc... I have 7 more days of this. Not much point to this post, just had to vent I guess. Thanks for listening.

Dana, I know just want you mean I'm on day 9 and day 5 was hardest for me. I think because I was at the half way point. I have had a cuople of dreams about food which was really weird, but other than that it's been okay. Just think you're almost there. Everyday from today will move really quick. I have 1 more day before my surgery and I have so many emotions going through my mind right now. I'm happy scared and ready for all of this to be over. God luck on your WLS.

Well another half day down. I just went downstairs for lunch while everyone else was eating and I drank my slim-fast. I just have to keep telling myself I can do it. There have been so many days where I wanted to cheat, but I have to tell you, reading your posts have helped me through it. Just knowing that there are others out there in the same boat and knowing that you and others have made it through, make it easier. Thanks a bunch and good luck to you as well.

I'm with ya.... I did the pre-op liquid diet and now I'm doing the post-op liquid diet. Right before I went back for surgery, I turned on the TV.. and there was an OLIVE GARDEN (my fave) commercial.. changed the channel... another OG commercial. It does get better though.. I don't really think of food like I did before. I just would like to actually taste and chew something. On the upside........ think of how much better you're gonna look on the loser's bench!!! Good luck, you CAN do it. Melinda

Olive Garden and Pizza Hut are killing me. I watched an old episode of 90210 last night and they were eating a huge pizza and I can't tell you how bad I wanted to order myself one...LOL Thanks for the encouragement. It does make it better hearing that there are others out there that feel the same way. Congrats and good luck to you as well. Dana

You can do it, Dana. Stick with it. I am on day 13 of my 15 day liquid diet. It does get easier, believe it or not. I still get hungry in the evening, but I think that is because of all the commercials. Try not to put yourself in situtations where you have to be around food. That kind of helps. Good Luck!

Dana, I'm on day 1 and I can tell you that I am going bonkers Why can't I just sleep until the 21st and wake up after my procedure is done! Hang in there sister...the best is yet to come!!!!
