2 weeks from today

Its here, my first day of liquids only. I am hopeful that it will not be too hard. have been trying so hard over the last month to get used to liquids, mind over matter, I guess?
I am excited to see that scrappingtwinmom had her surgery and is doing ok. I am scheduled for the 20th. Dr Toder called the other day, it is funny how things like that can re-motivate you. I am excited, nervous, and hopeful. DREADING not eating for 2 weeks, but I will survive. anyone else scheduled near my date? I kinda want to have a buddy to go through this with. Im a dork. :)

Sounds like you are doing  wonderful!!!

You will be in great hands.

The  liquid diet is the hardest the first three days.

If  you get so you are not going to make it  let the dieticians know they will give you  some advice.

But if  you need  something to crunch on  till you talk to them  use  cuke cumbers or celery.  to get you thru.  not many calories and takes care of the chew.

take care!!!

it is hard, Im HUNGRY! LOL 6 more hours and this day can be counted a win. Thanks for the support.

I admire those of you that have to do the 2 weeks of liquids!  I don't think I could have done it! It's hard but WELL worth it!  Good luck!

You can do it!  The liquid diet stinks but believe me it stinks in a different way AFTER the surgery.  You won't be hungry and the thought of having to take in more of the protein shakes and yogurt and soup is daunting.  It is a great jumpstart to your weightloss though and you can do it.  I saw someone post this somewhere else and it's my new mantra, "You can do hard things".  I love it and say it to myself all the time now.  It's true!  I do hard things every day and beating my food addiction and getting thin and healthy is another hard thing I can do and you can too!!
