day 3 of 17 on LF

Hey Kandy!  I'm right there with you, my surgery is 3/4/08 and am on the pre-op phase, and I started 2/8/08.  All liquid and one little gritty, waxy bar a day.  I stepped on the scale this am and am down 12 lbs.  Keep up the hard work it will pay off in the end.  I even went with my family to a b-day party at a "chinese buffett" place yesterday and drank tea the whole time.  I've got the determination to make this journey work for me and nothing is going to stand in my way......what's a little suffering from no food.....offer it up to God......he is glad to help those who ask!  Beth

Beth--

Congrats!!! I know i can do this... DBF daughter had basketball tourneys this weekend and when all was said and done the celebration was at pizzahut... so while everyone had cheesy yummy pizza and bread sticks... i had soup!! thank goodness they now have a bistro section....  not sure if i would want to do a gritty wax bar.... laughs.. i would almost forgo that and just stick to the liquids... lmao..... and if you read my profiel.... 3 years to gt to this point so NOTHING is going to sidetrack me.... i was just venting.. they say day 3 is the hardest... get past that and you are ok...... so here i am at day 4 and definitely in better spirits than yesterday..... lol.... thanks for the encouragement!!

Kandy, You will cook again *laughing*.  I felt the same way as you do about it, but trust me, you will feel like cooking again.  I've found it fun to try and adjust recipes to make them more WLS friendly. You are doing great!!

thanks so much... i know i will cook again... just was really frustrated yesterday..... laughs..... its not like im never ever gonna be able to eat things again... it was just the getting my mind around the three extra days...... thanks for the encouragement!!!!

youll make it!!!!...  im on day 7 of the MMPC diet...and 2 weeks to go.... not the best, but like Jen said, once it gets into your system, your not hungry ... i ate 780 calories yesterday and i had to force myself to eat my last snack of the night....  we have the same surgery week youll get through it girl!
