Liquid diet
I don't think any cravings I had were based on "time" as much as they were on cir****tances. If my family was eating pizza, then YES! I WANTED PIZZA TOO!!! But I never got physically HUNGRY on the LD, because PNC allows up to 5 protein drinks a day, plus all the other liquids you wanted - so any time I had a craving, I knew it was all psychological.
Damn head games... Keep it goin' - it will be SOOOOOO worth it in the end!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
My body has been pretty good-not feeling too hungry. But brain hungry made it about 5 days. Had a little meltdown on Sunday as I was really HUNGRY. Today is one week down- one to go. I only lost 2 lbs so that did not help the frustration. Feeling a little tired-had my preop exam today. I told my family that they were on their own. They for the most part were fine with it. Im guessing since I am 1/2 way done I can make it the rest...
I was miserable from the start but it was all coming from my head (like a drug addict's withdrawal). I was angry that everyone else could eat and i couldn't. But by the first week I started feeling emotionally a little better (stopped punishing people around me for eating; still ashamed I did that) and in a way I felt a sense of control over my eating for the first time. Then when I started seeing the weight come off I felt really good; I loss 30 lbs in 10 days.
Start 323 ~ Current 199 ~
Wow, 30 pounds in 10 days?! Good job there!!
I've been doing mine for two days now and I'm just bored. I wanted something to chew on SO BADLY but oh well. As long as I can keep myself from feeling sickly hungry I'm okay. I'm getting used to the protein shake taste... for now! I can TOTALLY understand why people post-op celebrate being able to eat something other than mush and puree. I would gauge that so far I've lost maybe 5 pounds.
