I started the liquid diet -- and the countdown!

I have to admit, I overate last night.  I had pork chops, fried; noodles, and veggies and then had a big bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce.  I felt horrible afterward.  Today I got up, my resolve strong, my mind clear.  I had my liquid breakfast, was hungry again around 2, had another shake.  Just finished my dinner (lean cuisine) and I'm so happy that now there are only 13 days left! I'm calling it my re-birth day.  Then maybe I don't have to admit to turning 49 in May!  Leslie

First few days are the hardest Leslie, after a few days, the liquid diet gets easier and before you know it surgery will be here.  Good Luck and keep us filled in on how the diet is going!

good luck- it will be here so soon

Hi Leslie, Angela is right.  The first few days were okay then I hit a wall and felt like I just couldn't do it anymore.  I admit I cried, was cranky (ask the DH LOL) and actually threw something at the tv (something soft!) when a food commercial came on.  I became rational a few days later.  Honestly, lots of prayers asking for help.  I'll keep you in my prayers as you begin this journey.  Don't worry about the mishap.  One day I ate six cheese sticks!  In my mind I was replacing shakes lol  I found the Lean Cuisine plus added veggies did the trick for me.  THe ones already done in the bag that you nuke are great.  Plus I love the cut up cuke in vinegar!  Good luck!  Jules

When you all started this liquid diet... did you use water and ice for your shakes or milk? I'm curious to know if milk is acceptable with no sugar added CIB. . .
