Gosh, this is HARD!!!!! I'm soooo wanting to eat something!! I need to CRUNCH!! (and not on ice either) Today is Day 1 of my 5 day pouch test. I'm doing it to try and break my carb addiction. Not that I'm gaining weight or anything, but I've been eatting a LOT more carbs then I used to and they dont sit well with me. I've been bloated and had horrible gas pains and I'm sick and tired of it. Anyway, on liquids today and tomorrow - my oh my! This is not for the faint of heart. It is WORK!! I just made dinner for the kids. Sloppy Joes and doritos. I soooooo wanted to LICK my hand after serving the doritos - now how SICK is that????? Ugh, I didn't though *pats self on the back* I'm trying not to let my desire to eat change my attitude, that's work as well!! It'd be easy to just be grumpy because of it. This is going to be a long week!!!

Good for you for not licking your hands! lol (never dreamed I'd say that to a grown woman! ha ha) You can do it... if you could do it before surgery (liquids for however long you had to) I'm sure you can now also! Keep up the good work! Reward yourself with something NON FOOD when you complete the 5 days!

Okay I can not imagine you being grumpy. You will make it through the 5 days, you have made it through so much more your a strong woman and you can do it. Remember you are setting an example for us pre-ops!.. lol.. thought I would try guilt just for incentive...lol... I beleive in you and you will do this because its important to your health. I will put in an extra prayer for you.

Oh honey, my kids will testify to my ability in grumpy! LOL Today is going better then yesterday. I've had two protein drinks, a sf pudding cup, and I'm just now having some cream of chicken soup (ick, don't like it but I'm eatting it anyway). Yes, I will set a good example for you preops. And then when you're going through it, I'll be able to say... if I can do it - so can you!!!!! Thanks for your prayers!!!

I bought a juicer and am thinking of doing a juice detox thing-can't decide how many days to commit to it. Anyone out there up to a group detox?

Nope never done that. I don't know that I could. I dump on juices most of the time. I still have to dilute my oj 50/50 with water. lol

I'm going to have to do mostly veggie juices because the fruit ones are too acidic for me. I'm going to read up on it before I embark, things are going to well now for me to want to mess it up with some goofy "diet". The purpose isn't to lose weight, it's to cleanse the system, but I'm going to see exactly what juices that entails before I say yay or nay.
