3rd day of liquids

Today is my third day of liquids.  So far it has been going alright.  I have made a couple of discoveries 1. I do not like just plain vanilla.  but I have started adding orange crystal light powder to my vanilla shakes and it makes all the difference.

2. Low salt Low fat broth =   I will skip that one for the rest of this process. Other than that I have only felt hungry once and craved a food once (so far).  Only 12 more days to surgery Peggy

hang in there. i'll pray that it goes by fast for you. just think of the extra weight you'll lose pre-op! less you have to lose later.

Thanks for the kind words.  I am detirmined to make it with out cheating so all prayer is greatfully accepted.

WTG Peggy....

Hang in there, it gets easier after the 3rd day.   Good luck with your surgery

HI Peg!  You are doing awesome the first couple days are the worst! Its all smooth sailing now, I hate broth, MY favorite thing was  sf hot chocolate made with skim milk, it was hot like a meal and filling, I also made it with sf instant breakfasts , Isnt it soooo empowering that YOu are doing it!  It really makes you feel awesome when you take complete control and know that this is the begining of something soo special!      ITS not as bad as you thought I bet! just the first day or so!  I was too scared to even think of cheating,  surgery complications is not worth a bite of anything!              IT was hard on my family as my  two times being on liquid diet was  THANKSGIVING then they canceled my surgery date after being on liquid diet for 3 days through that holiday, then rescheduled it again.  and  I was dec 10th when all christmas parties etc.  IT was harder on everyone around me they felt weird eating in front of me, they still do,  It doesnt bother me a bit,  I am thankful for the tool!            I am hoping time is traveling fast for you, and you feel well, I didnt have any headaches as some say they did, ,decaf coffee  as we can have milk  so   that was the main concern, milk is soo satisfying.   much better then broth blahhhhhhhhh!                     Keep us posted!  Hugs   and HONKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! scented Blessings Allicca

Hang in there Peg, you are in the home stretch and every day you do this will make it better on the other side. Good for you!!
