Started Shakes Today

I started my shakes today 2 weeks out from surg.  Very excited and nervous at the same time LOL.  I made one huge mistake tho.  I read the post about Honey Mustard Pizza LOL.  Now my mind is telling me I am hungry LOL.  I am trying to keep up with all these yummy recipes so I will have them later.  Too bad there is not a place we can store them on here so everyone can refer back to them at a later date without having to scroll threw all the post LOL.  Anywho I will be joining all of you on the loser bench soon.

Coming in the home stretch now, Janoice!  The first couple of days on the shakes are the hardest, from what I'm told. Maybe for now you should not read recipes?? While you're recuperating you can have plenty of time to scroll through and find them, and it will be a while before you'll be able to eat them anyway. We're here for ya!  Keep up the good work.

I feel your pain with that 2 week pre-op liquid diet.  I hated it.   In fact, I really believe that that diet was the hardest part of my entire journey. You can totally do it though!  Keep your eye on the prize!!! (That honey mustard chicken pizza was a little bland and needs tweaking.  Just keep that in mind if you're thinking about it.  IT WAS BLAND.  IT WAS BLAND.  Repeat it to yourself.)

Thank you ladies for the words of encouragement.  It really helps alot.  I think the worst part so far is the sweetness of the shakes.  The first sip made tears come to my eyes it has been such a long times sence I had anything sweet LOL.  But oh my goodness they are sooooooooo good.  Now if I can just do the sweet thing for two week.  Oooops I mean YES I CAN!!!
