LD.....nuff said

Slim Fast.........i hate you! You know, I dreamt about my mom's tuna salad last night.  Mmmm...solids *droooooool*  I feel like Homer Simpson. Dave, a nurse from PNC, left me a message today to see how I'm doing on my LD, reminding me of my magnesium citrate (whatever it's called), and to make sure it's clear liquids on Thursday.  Unfortunately I was doing some makeup work at school and missed the call.  I shall call him back on Monday.  How sweet is it that they even call??  So cool.  I just need to stay motivated, but most of all BUSY!!!  This weekend is going to be hard, but not THAT bad.  I'm so over the sweet tooth thing.  I didn't realize how sweet slimfast, boost and ensure tasted!!!  No wonder I loved it at first...now that i have all the sugar out of my system I don't even crave it.  I just want salt now.  Nice change. I bought a scale from Target today (haven't had one at home for YEARS) and I think it's like 5 lbs off.  According to this scale, I lost 11lbs in 5 days.  No way.  I know it's possible to lose a lot of water weight, but 11 lbs of it?  C'mon.  Oh well, I'll just have to keep it in mind when i weigh in at the doc's office.  Have a great day everyone!!!

You can do it, you can do it, you can doit!!! For me, the liquid diet was the most challenging part of the journey so far. Keep focused on the goal, and you'll make it. Meridee

Congrats on sticking to the LD.....Keep your eye on the prize and you'll do great this weekend.  You are sooooo close now!!! The weight loss -- I lost 16 pounds on my 10 day LD -- so losing 11 is very possible..... XXOO

Way to go!   You just keep showin' me how it's done!  Whooo Hooo!  

11 lbs is totally within range for a LD.  Great job keeping on it!  You are soooooo close now.  Follow the docs orders to the T, it will help make your surgery go easier-the LD shrinks the liver, plus you need to be "cleansed" ... GREAT JOB!!!

LOL I remember that same sentiment not that long ago!  Get creative with SF syrups if the taste is bothering you.  I added some SF banana coffee syrups to chocolate shakes.  Davinchi SF coffee syrups helped make the protein shakes palatable for me. We need to stick to it - but it need not be bland! Sounds like the place you are going is good!  Checking in is awesome! 11 lbs isn't out of range.  I lost 19 in a week on the LD (started at 297)  Keep up the good work and it'll all come off!  I have faith in you!!

YAY!!  You are doing so great!!!  Just think you are half way done with the LD and then it's your DAY!!!!!!  Keep up the great job

hang in there!!!  You are doing so good!!

It won't be long now :)

Thursday will be here before you know it!  You are doing a great job!  Keep up the good work!!!

You Rock!  You are doing it!  Keep it up sweetheart! It is a temp thing and like Dave said it isn't a "torture" thought up for the fun of it- It serves its purpose and we can do it!
