I have been on full liquids 4 days now

Hi I started the full liquid diet a few days early because if I lost a few pounds before my surgery on Jan 9, 2006 it would only be a plus. I have done great so far and I know i have to continue but I need something else other then Adkins shakes and Slim fast low carb drinks, to me they are disgusting. I am not a sweet freak and prefer the taste of real food. Does anyone have any suggestions. I can't wait until my surgery. I am ready to feel better and look better soon. Take care all, Betty

Betty, I too start the liquid diet on Tuesday, Jan 3rd and I'm a nervous wreck. I plan to eat alot of cottage cheese, cream soups-strained, sugar-free jello, I think we could use low cool-whip with it. I can't eat just plain jello. Lots of drinks that are sugar free. I haven't went to the grocery yet, waiting till Monday...I too have Dr. Curry and my surgery is Jan 13th, FRIDAY. Good luck, get back with me to let me know what ideas you came up with. How hungry have you been for the past 4 days? I love food and just don't know how I am going to do this. Beth

suger free hot choc is good.

I am getting my new picture on the board, My hair is going thru a transition of growing out long. It looks terrible. I cant do nothing with it. It looks good after I do it for about 5 minutes then it is a mess. I always had long hair and cut it short. Been that way for 3 years. I need a change. Happy New Years Barb

You look great to me. I will be getting a picture on soon. Betty

that sounds good Ann Dee I think I will have some in a couple of minutes Thanks Betty

Hi Beth I started on Dec 26,2005 on a 14 day full liquid diet, the 4 extra days were my idea. But it has been 7 days now and I am fine. I can deal with it because i have a goal in mind. Today is the 2nd so i only have 6 more days left, I can't wait for the results. I know it is going to be a great year and I know your's will be too. I have been drinking broth, I will go to a Chinese Restraut and order egg drop soup and wonton soup ( just the broth) and it is great. I have found some water from Walgreens called H2O Lemon Lime and it is tart not sweet and it is great. I did try a couple of times putting the Slim Fast Low Carb in decaffinated coffee and drinking it. That was ok and I got about a 1/2 a can down. Sugar-free jello and that is about it. You can do it Beth and Will do it with you. Sincerely Betty

Thanks Michael I haven't tried the Instant breakfast drink yet. I will get some at the store in a couple of days. I have been on it 7 days now and have 6 more days till the big day. I can't wait Take care Betty

Betty Good luck with your surgery. You will be happy you diet before the surgery. My doctor didnt suggest that and My first BM was a nightmare. You will also have a start on your weight loss. Your day is almost here. we will be thinking about you. Hugs Barb
