STRUGGLING...hard....
I know that struggle. It is real. I wanted Pizza soo bad. Guess what? it doesn't stop after the surgery. Your stomach wont accept it but your brain wants it. your taste buds want it. Everyone around you is having it and its not fair.
I will say this though. Be proud of getting yourself this far. You've made it so far. Don't comprise it now. You are one week away from hoping up on that table and saying goodbye to a life of Struggle with obesity. Yes, you will wake up obese still but you will be with us. On the losers bench and on your way to being a healthier YOU.
Keep going cause that liver needs to shrink and be empty of glycogen. It takes a little while for it to do so and as long as you are following your nutritionist/doctors advice and plan it will.
Don't be afraid to use Chicken/beef/veggie broth though. When you are craving start sipping. Find something in your Liquid diet plan that you can have and use it. Mine was sugar free chocolate pudding.
Good luck sweetie. I know its difficult but this too shall pass and you WILL get through this. ((((HUGS)))) we all know the struggle. we stand with ya.
Wow! 3 weeks of liquid diet!?! I applaud you! It is so hard!!! I stayed on track today, choked down yet another sweet shake during the Bingo I went to and stayed away from the pizza I was drooling over! I can't wait to be on the other side of this.
I will tell you ladies all i did was watch movies and played on the computer and walked when i could I did not turn on the TV at all so I was not looking at all the food programs they show. I was never hungry I think because I never stopped drinking fluids so I think that helped me and I am sure it is not the same for everyone , this will only be a little bump when you look back a yr from now and see the results and say to yourself WOW look at me NOW!!!!! hang in there you got this and good luck
NOT TODAY - thats become my mantra. The longer you stay away, the easier it gets to stay away. So just tell yourself, "Not today. I'm not going to eat that pizza today. Tomorrow isnt even promised to me. Whatever will happen tomorrow, will hapoen. But I'm not going to do it today." You'd think doing that would make tomorrow harder, but it doesnt. It makes it a little easier.
