I have been on my pre-surgery liquid diet since May 12th.  My doctor only allows skim milk 3-4 times a day and the rest is water or crystal light.  I have two more weeks to go! I try very hard to avoid food  but in two weeks this is what I have learned about myself that I hope will carry me through my journey.

That just because thier is food in the house I dont NEED to eat it.

That I can still enjoy cooking for others with out eating.  (the kids still need to eat)

That alot of the times I thought about food i wasnt even really hungry. (it just sounded good heck half the time I just wanted to eat something before the kids ate it all)

That I can go out to dinner with my family and still not eat. (yep  just had an ice water while the kids had pizza at family fun center)

When I first started this I thought I was gonna die.  I know now if I can do this.  I can make this surgery work.  That the battle is in my head and my success is not up to my surgeon it is up to me!. 

PS I am jealous I cant even have broth, jello, protein shakes, nothin!
