Questioning myself

I keep questioning why I am doing this to myself!  It must be the liquid diet talking!  I am doing ok but I have not been able to dring 5 shakes yet.  I get 4 in and when it is time for number 5 I just can't.  I am following the directions about the other things I can have.  Maybe I am just drinking too much water or crystal light and that is why I feel full.  Has anyone else felt like this?  Sorry to dump this on everyone!  I have also been constantly thinking about cheating!  But I haven't.  Does everyone cheat?  Thanks for listening! Meg 

seems like everyone cheats at least once on the liquid diet but it usually with something that isnt fatty or something lite and then it satisifes them and they dont do it anymore. lol  normal to question yourself. I went back and forth the few weeks before surgery , i can lose this weight by myself , no i cant , yes i can but will gain it all back. so it went but i knew in my heart that this was the way to go and that it would give me the tool to stay at a healthy weight. It isnt magic because you still have to do your part and will always have to do your part. but at least we have the tool to help us now.  When is your surgery??? and do you have an angel to answer questions for you? 

Nancy is my angel and my date is May 1st!  I know you are right in my heart.  Nothing else has ever worked.  I just need to keep my eye on the prize, right Jan?  I am hanging in there!  Time for another shake! Meg

I volunteered to be her angel a couple weeks ago...not sure if she wants me or not though   !  Meg you are going through the normal ups and downs....I went through the same thing and would cry for no reason...i got worried enough about it that i called Margie....she said that almost everyone goes through it...could be nervousness...could be blood sugar/hormone fluctuations...doesn't matter what it is really as long as you know it's normal.  A lady I work with says it could be one of the stages of grieving....you are getting ready to go through a complete life style change you know!  You are essentially "breaking up with" food...something you have had a lifelong relationship with...just not a healthy one.  Who wouldn't grieve??  Anyway...don't think you are the only one that wants to or has cheated.  I again called margie and confessed my "sins"...one day i had to have brussel sprouts of all things...the next day it was green beans...then broccoli...she said she wouldn't condemn me as long as i wasn't putting cheese and butter and stuff on them...i assured her that i was eating them steamed with salt/pepper only and she said it was ok....she would rather have me eat that then go on some binge of stuff that's bad for me....keep in mind...just relating my experience to you....not telling you that you should do it....but margie does understand and can give some reassuring advice...she won't see you as a wuss (sp?)  Hope that helps...you're doing great....

Nancy you are a great angel with a lot of good information. who wouldnt want you as their Angel... Are you a nurse?  

Yes maam...RN BSN

Yes Nancy I do want you as my angel!  I am sorry that was not clear.  I have told everyone that you were.  I guess you are right.  My husband is trying to help...he's a good guy.  I am hanging in there! Meg
