Day 4 liquid diet--How ya holdin' out?

Well girls, it's day 4. I'm not doing too bad. Last night I made the mistake of watching Food Network and they were cooking chicken fried steak. I about had a fit!
Today I'm extra hungry because I have to fast for 10 hours because my husband and I have to get screened for the Healhty Lifestyle program for his work. If we don't participate, we won't be eligible for health insurance. I'm looking forward to next year's screening so I can get a better score since I'll have lost quite a bit of weight.

Hope the rest of you all are having a good day and hangin' tough! (That's right, I used a NKOTB euphamism. I'm a fan from way back. )

I'm surviving!!!!! But it sure it hard! Liz

Hi Brandy
 Well i'm Hangin' is about all i can say LOL. The vanilla slimfast is alot better than the chocolate thank goodness. I'm drinking a cup of chicken noodle broth right now.Never thought broth could taste so good lol.I really need to up my fluid intake so i made some grape chrystal light and a pitcher of tea.Two shakes in three to go but only think i'll get two. This is really tough and it really makes me second guess myself on if this surgery is for me after all.
  Hope everyone else is haveing a great day.

Hi Brandy, It's day 3 for me.  Not bad so far.  I'm actually staying full on all this crap.  But I have to say I'm craving real food like crazy!!!!!!    OH!   I've lost 4 lbs so far.  lol  so that's a plus.

NKOTB were the shizzle!!!  I had all the bedding the curtians trash can all that jazz---did you know they are back??  I saw a video the other day---nothing like they used to be though.

You guys are awesome doing your liquid thing. I am dreading it BIG TIME.  I'm hoping to have surgery in September, currently awaiting insurance approval. 

My surgeon only allows water and protein shakes mixed with water for 2 weeks prior to surgery.  I have NO IDEA HOW I'm going to make it! 

At least some of you get to have broth, etc.  I have a feeling I'm not going to feel good at all!

I dont' see how having SF jello, and broth would effect the shrinking of the liver, surely as long asyou're not having fat and carbs it will still shrink, right?

It's frustrating that all the surgeons have such different recommendations.

Angie--I had posters all over my room and pillows, t-shirts, buttons, etc. I remember being 10 years old and my cousin got to go to their concert. That night, I sat in my room and listened to their tape and cried because I wasn't there. I've heard their new single. It's not bad, but I just don't find them as mezmerizing now. Probably because I grew up and met the man of my dreams and married him.



Waterfall---I'm doing okay with just the protein shakes and water. I find that the times I really crave food is when I allow myself to get hungry, so I try to stay on top of the hunger. I really like the adkins advantage shakes blended in my magic bullet with a lot of ice. It's almost like ice cream!!!
