I'll have that on ice, please!

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am strapping into the liquid diet rollercoaster and heading on in towards the big first hill (Thanksgiving Day). 

I start the diet tomorrow and believe that I am prepared.  I've had my cheese, I've had my last beer, I've had all my "lasts" I am going to have before I begin my new life.  Even if I eat the same item after some time, it will be with a brand new outlook, so it is still a last in that way for me.

So, with my hands in the air I feel the brakes release and I'm in for the duration!!!  Woo Hoo!!!!  Did I mention I have to pee? 

Glad to hear you are strapped in, Theresa.   You are in for the ride of your life!   Best wishes to you as you start this new journey to wellness!

Good job, your in the short run now!!!!! LOSER!!!!!

Congratulations on making it to the last stage before your surgery...the liquid diet!! 

I'll be right there with you on Thanksgiving, "eating" a liquid diet too (cuz' of my surgery last Thursday).  It'll be a big hurdle, but just think by next Thanksgiving how completely different your life will be with all the changes you'll be making!!

Good luck with everything & can't wait til' you join the losers bench on the flip side!!

Hey teresa, It wasn't soooo bad. I'm on the 10th day, only clears and I'm alive. Surgery tomorrow! It will be here before you know it! ;)

You'll do just fine, Tere - keep your eye on the prize!   Weight loss, here you come...

It was so fun to meet you on Saturday!!  Don't worry to much about the liquid diet, it can be what you make it.  I don't know your clinic's diet after surgery but I had clear/full liquids for three weeks and I did not mind it a bit.  Made it easy for work, going places, and easy on the budget!!!  Just carry your watter bottle where ever you go!!  It is the stage I am in now, soft foods, you can't eat enough to use up what ever you open up before it starts a science project in the fridge!!  I tend to us baby food since it comes in smaller quantities.
Look forward to seeing you again soon and hope your journey is smoooooth!!!

The LD is all in your attitude.  I actually loved it, because never before, nor since, have i had more CLARITY in what I could put in my mouth!  If I could drink it, it was probably okay.  If I had to chew?  Nope.  Yes, your body will detox a bit, but it's a GOOD kinda icky.  It's all to benefit you in the long run, so embrace it!

Oh - and yes, you WILL notice:  Liquid in = liquid out. 

You said Pee........ Hee hee hee

I think you'll be doing a lot of that!  The very best of luck to you!  You can do it~
