I think I am going to fail

I am going to fail at my liquid diet...I am on day three and I really want and feel like I need some food. I will even settle for a bologna sandwhich...help! I still have 11 days to go




11/20/11------I am editing this to inform new readers that I am doing much better :-) As of the 20th I only have 9 more days to go till my surgery. :-)

I personally think 2 weeks of liquid diet is just cruel!

But with that said, it is what you've got. SO - is there any limit on the amount of liquid you can take in? If not, just keep slurping on liquids until you are so bloated that you don't want another thing, and KEEP doing it. If you slow down on the liquids, (which I am sure you are really sick of, by now) that is when you will get the hungriest. So slurp away!

I hope this helps.

Thanks---I try to drink constantly.

LaToya,

I have read your other posts, you come across as a strong woman who can do anything, and I am confident you can do this.

I asume the liquid phase includes protien shakes. If so, one that I liked was unsweetened frozen strawberries, strawberry protien  powder, and skim milk in a blender, this makes a good shake that is very filling.

A motiivational trick a buddy and I came up with when he was quitting smoking was to involve his kids. He promised them that they caught him smoking, he would buy them a go-kart. He really didn't want to do this,and they watched him like a hawk. It did work, but eventually he built a go-kart with is son for his birthday, but that was years ago and my friend still does not smoke. maybe you could do somthing simalar to get your kids helping you.

You only have 11 more days to go, in the grand scheme of a lifetime of feeling better, 11 days is nothing, and I sure you will find the inner-strength.

Stay Strong

Gary

Thank you Gary, but unfortunately my liquid diet does not include liquids.
And thank you for reminding me that I AM a STRONG woman.

you are so lucky to have a srery date and to hae it so close. Use all your strength and support to make it through to your goal. If you get the urge to fail reach out like you have done here someone will answer. I have not been on this section in awhile but maybe I am here now just to offer support to you. Call on me anytime I will try to answer you back ASAP

 The beginning of my liquid diet is gonna be starting mid december and im just as scared as you are about failing. Making this decision to have this surgery is proof that we are both strong enough to do this. Like the other lady said just drink, drink, and drink some more. You will get through this so just hang in there. Playing online games works too or at least it does for me when i start having cravings. 

Good luck!

Good luck on your journey. My date is December 5th and luckily I only have a one day liquid diet. You have just a few more days to go. You can do it.
