This is the hardest thing ever!!! Help!!!

Ok Ok I know why Dr. H puts on the liquid diet and I know it is for my own good BUT if I could control my eating I wouldn't need surgery in the first place!  Those shakes are killing me I know I am dramatic but I want to eat.  I love food.  Just a bite.  But I will not cheat I will keep going but I would just like to let evryone know I am know I am not happy about it!  Thanks for listening. 

Sweetie i know it isnt easy.if you just have to cheat make sure it is something like sugar free jello or s.f. popcycles. i dont think ethere one of those would hurt any if you just have too. Would be better than a lot of things. Keep thinking about the end product, like i say keep your eyes on the prize. you ! This is a good safe place to come and vent so vent away. do you have someone that you can talk to that has been here done that?  The surgery isnt the easy way out that is for sure. it never will be and will always be hard  maybe with different things and stuff but it will always be hard beleve me.   I know you can do it. You are a strong woman that has come this far in your trip so dont lose it now. Love and hugs

Jan, Do you know if we can freeze the protein powder shakes and make popsicles  out of them?

Keep it up, you can do it!!!!

i can't say I know how you feel because I haven't been in your postiion yet..hopefully I will be soon..but keep up the good work, you can do it remember how badly you want this everytime you feel like cheating. Good luck!! Charlene

You can have sugar free jello, beef/chicken broth, sugar free popsicles (check the labels under 10 calories) and all the no calorie liquid you can drink. AND NONE OF IT IS CHEATING!  , Space out those shakes every 3 hr.s and try not to be late or you get so hungry all you can think about is food!. Make your shake time seem like a meal, start with the jello (bowl full it's "free" food) , drink your shake, then finish off with a mug of broth. Everytime I start to really think i'm getting so hungry, it is about time to have another shake, if it's not , eat the sugar free jello, it is kind of filling. Today is the 10th day of my liquid, it isn't much fun, but it really isn't UNBEARABLE either, we can do it!!

Two weeks prior to surgery, my doctor require protein drinks and water and that is all.  No coffee, tea, broth, Jello or anything.  I'm dreading it but I'm keeping my eye on the prize. Jo

You can do it!!!!!!  Considering that your surgery date is the day before our next meeting, I guess you won't be there!    We'll see you at the May meeting then and you can show off all the weight you will have lost already!! 

I am SOOOOOO with you sister!!!!!!! Day 4 for me and I would rather be hungry then have another of them blasted shakes!  Keep it up though. We WILL get through this
