ahh, yes....the liquid diet....

Well, today is day seven of the two week liquid diet and it has been no big deal.  I am kinda surprised by that, actually!    The further I get into it, the more I want to prove to myself that this is something that I WILL NOT cheat at.  I am kinda using it as a gauge of my post op success.  If I can stick with this, then I can stick with it all, right?  Anyway..... My hubby and I are doing this together and we have gotten a little bored with drinking everything, so we decided to make boost ice cream.  HOLY COW!!!  IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO YUMMY!  It is really nice just to have something with a little different texture--and actually use utensils.  LOL.  I have an electri**** cream maker that I bought when I was in culinary school, so I just poured the boost in there and 30 minutes later ice cream appears.  It is pretty yummy--I'd recommend it to anyone. 

So, that's my two cents......missed having you guys around this past weekend......maybe my computer will come back to me this week!!!  Hope all is well with everyone!

I was surprised that the LD wasn't to bad as well. The ice cream boost sounds good. Although now it might put my body in shock because of the sugar. You are getting so close aim for that goal> You are on you way!

Jeanne I am so proud of how well you are doing on your LD. It really isn't that bad at all. Yes I did do the frozen Boost..it was quite yummy!! I get comments about how I follow the rules and am getting tired of hearing it. Hope they leave you alone!! I do not feel deprived and I like things done the right way. Some people are just rude!! I am not hurting anyone by doing things my way. Are you going to group tonight? Dr. Smith is there to talk about PS. Hope to see you there. Hugs, connie d

Hi Jeanne, I am on day 7 of my 10 day LD and feel great.  I'm with you, wanting to prove that I can do it.  I'm dissappointed that I have only lost 1 pound.  I'm afraid I'll get to surgery and they won't believe me that I followed instructions to a tee...honest.  My body just loves to hold on to the pounds. I also like to follow rules, just tell me exactly what to do and I'll do it.  That's why I think this will work for me.  I don't want to eat the way I used to, I want to eat heathly, make good choices, move my body...and see results.  I want to live!!  I want to succeed!! I wish I had an icecream maker to use with the Boost, I bet its great. So nice that your hubby is doing it with you. You go girl.

Boost ice cream?  what a great idea!!  wish I had thought of that.... you are rockin it, lady! hope you get that computer fixed soon! hugs- lynn
