Liquid diet and migraine--update

hey everyone I posted a couple of days ago about starting a supervised liquid diet for weight loss and regaining control, and asked if migraine was normal. To let ya'll know the headache is getting some better. I still feel pretty drained but I am sticking to my guns and each day is getting better. It feels so good just to be able to stick with it. I am learning some pretty tasty recipes and such too. One unexpected side effect is how darn good all the food in my house smells to me, and how well I can pick up on the scent.  I feel like a blood hound must feel. I am on the scent.  LOL Thanks everyone for your help.

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!  And when I'm walking outside, I swear, I can smell a BBQ 3 miles away!!  LIke a shark smells blood, I tell you.

I am glad you are improving, just surprised you are on a liquid diet at this point in your surgery recuperation. 

I am blessed in that I live alone, so the only food smells I have to deal with I make myself. 

God bless.

I don't believe she has had surgery yet - I think this was to help with pre surgery weight loss and to break her food addicted behavior.

It is amazing, isn't it?  There is a "RAID" commercial on by me with a roach wearing a blind fold identifying foods by smell only.  That's the way I feel - even without being on a liquid diet any more!! 

Glad things are getting easier for you!

Pam is right I haven't had my surgery yet. Still looking forward to it : ) But I have to say that being on this liquid thing, I am learning some about why I go for food. The other night I saw a bag of chips that my hubby was eating and I almost grabbed them, thought no I don't want that, then thought well I could have a meat and cheese wrap with them that would be healthier, then caught my train of thought and corrected myself. I was completely satisfied with the shake I had earlier it was completely an impulse to grab the snack food, and then to rationalize. I am really glad that I caught myself. I am learning alot and I can tell my apetite is shrinking, and things are starting to come into line. This whole process is helping me to learn alot and I am glad for that. Talk at ya later.
