You get dizzy cause your body is lacking the food that is has become so close to..... I did realize you were doing it to keep your date I know you are afraid of losing the date if you don't lose the weight.....My doctor didn't require me to lose any weight as a matter of fact I gained and gained and gained weight after seeing my surgeon...I ate and ate and ate after denial after denial after denial...til I finally got approved....ugh that was tough with all the denials I had gain about 60lbs food really become my comfort not that it wasn't already but I was getting very depressed from the denials....but with the help and encouragment here at the board I got through it....got my approval and now I am 3 months out and I've lost 85 lbs and still going....I have more energy my body doesn't hurt as much as it use to...and I now walk alot..... I know you have good reasons for doing the liquid diet and I for all your determination I am behind you all the way I just want you to be safe too... I know I sound like a mother well I am and habbits are hard to break..... I am here for you if you need me...I am keeping you in my prayers and keeping everything crossed for you....hopeing you will beat this weight 13lbs and continue to the next step in your life which will be becomming a loser.... We have save you a seat on the losers bench..... Christine

Hey Christine and everyone Sorry, you have to work!! That is a real bummer I am off everyday. I am cleaning my kitchen cupboards this morning. Didn't realize you could work up such a sweat from scrubbing down cupboards. Then, this afternoon, my granddaughter, Liberty Pearl, is having her 3 year old birthday party. Her birthday is actually on Monday, but like you, her mom works during the week as a cardiac RN. Pray it doesn't rain from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. That is time of Liberty's party. When I get home from there, I will probably do my laundry. Hope everyone has a great weekend no matter what you are doing. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Brenda
