I've got the liquid blues
OMG, I do know how you feel. I am day 3 of pre-op LD. Yesterday was sooooo hard for me too. My partner and I went to the fireworks show. Not only did they have a Kidd Valley restaurant at the park but everyone around us was either bbq-ing or had tons of other food. I almost snagged a drumstick off someones grill as I walked past (hell, they weren't looking!) on my way to the bathrooms for the zillionth time. I was and still am so hungry I feel obsessed with food. I had trouble concentrating on the fireworks because I was drooling thinking about Kidd Valley's double cheeseburgers, fried mushrooms and root beer shakes!!!!!! I am already mourning the loss of sugar.
Keep posting and here are some hugs>>>{{{{B Girl}}}}

OH YEAH! I totally understand what you are going through, and I, like others here, have cheated on mine...tonight was the worst cheat, but I really have been understanding where you are. The first couple of days it was just wanting to chew something, but that passed. Lately, it is just that feeling of hunger that I can't seem to get past. I know that that feeling of hunger will go away once the surgery is over.
You are NOT alone!
Sending my love to you!
Hi, B girl! YES, the LD SUCKS!!!! I'm on day 11 and want this over! It was so hard not to partake on the 4th, especially since I did most of the cooking and prep! Oh, well! Things will be different on my next 4th! I have lost about 20lbs on the LD and have already noticed that it's easier to climb the big hill from the park where our town's fireworks are set off! Could just barely make it up a few weeks ago! Can't wait to see how I'll feel when I've lost all this extra poundage!!! You will do this thing, B Girl! I know the rewards will be sooooo worth it! Take care, Jean
I just posted on the Cali board ... man, you people who are on this diet for 7, 11, 14 days ... SAINTS, I tell ya.
I'm at the end of day one and about to slice a throat. I am ever so grateful that my surgeon's office only requires a 2-day pre-op LD. I can do one more day of this.
I have so much respect and admiration for you who can last longer than that.
All my Monday kids!! WOW .. here we go!
