Day 3

Day three of the liquid diet.

I play with needle felting for fun. This weekend I got pounds of new wool in loverly fall colors. So I am not eating. I am sitting here felting....


a golden,.....




lifesized...




piece of toast!!! 

Hang in there - it does get better!  I lived off the broth from Won Ton soup.... it was the only thing that had flavor for me!  The poor lady at the restaurant, she could not under why I did not want the dumplings and stuff. 

It will be over before you know it!

YIKES - DON'T EAT IT!!

REALLY -- YOU'LL GET THROUGH THIS!!

(Although, all that fiber can't be a bad thing, right?????)

I really am doing much better than I thought I would.

But I had started it as a profile, kind of a fall Green Man, and I just kept working it, turning it around, poking at it... I just laughed and went with the toast because it got to where that was all it looked like it could become.

I never have made fake food before. I may have a whole pantry full of wool food by my surgery date.

I did a lot of cross stitching while I was on my 2 week pre-op, kept my mind and hands busy, I got a lot done! Good luck.

Day 12 of the two week liquid diet and I have lost 15 pounds, I have wanted to gnaw the arms of anyone who has come near me

Not really, but it was a little easier than a thought it would be, kitting a scarf (not very well) but yep it keeps the hands busy.

My thoughts are with you, and your rather large piece of golden toast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can so do it!!  People may say it gets easier...it may for them...you really have to have mind over matter if you ask me.  I almost beat my wife up for a noodle one day.  I promised I would chew it and spit it out!  We actually got into a fight about it, LOL!!

You, REALLY, can do it....

I had a 6 week Optifast pre-op diet and I was ready for it to end! It may not seem like it now, but it passes very fast. -- Tom

Hell, why not some fried chicken???
