day 1 of liquid diet

Hi,

 I just started day 1 I am here at work and it is lunch time.  I am ready to kill everyone around me all they are doing is talking about food and eating while I have my yogurt and broth. 

I think I may have to leave work before my surgery date and do this at home.  I don't think I could do it here with all of them.  

 Just venting

   thanks.

I so know what you mean! I started mine on Tuesday and it gets a little better, but its still hard! My family is really supportive so that helps! Luckily at work we all have a different lunch time and different offices..... Good luck and stay strong!!!

 I'm pulling for you!  Am three days post surgery and it's the best thing I have ever done.  You'll get thru this and will be so happy you did!

Day 1 sucks, and day 2, and day 3..and so on an so forth. We all struggle with it but like you are doing we did it, got through it, and havent looked back!

You can do it!! How long is your pre-op diet? Mine was a week. A crappy, crappy week but I lost 10 lbs during that miserable week and I know you will lose some too!

Keep your head up

Thanks I have 11 more days till surgery.  Not too bad just the people around me are not making it easy.

It is soo difficult when you smell food and see it and everyone is talking about it. It definitely makes it harder. Maybe try going into another room if possible? I know that may not be feasible if you are at work.. Or post a pic on your computer of a cute outfit you will buy at goal so you have a visual reminder of why you are making the sacrifice..

*hugs*

Christmas was 3 days post op when I was eating broth and soup and I wanted to individually punt everyone at the Christmas dinner table across the room- they all had with gravy and turkey dripping from their lips! LOL

Yeah for Day #1!
It really does get easier. Once you have about a week under your belt of eating high protein your body stops feeling so hungry. Hang in there, it's worth it! ...Craig

thank you.   today was harder than I thought it was going to be... but I made it.

I'm on day 5 of a two week pre-op liquid only diet.  Wednesday (day 3), my office had a "Let's Go Wings" lunch party.  A ton of Buffalo wing varieties, yummy salads, chips, home made bread that was baked here in our office kitchen, desserts.........hoo boy, I think I'm starting to swoon!!  Anyway, I was feeling the same as you and thought I'll never make it through this.  I grabbed my protein shake and headed out for a walk, cursing everyone back in the office.  By the time I got back, I was full, relaxed, and right back on track knowing that a month of drinking sludge now will help get me to my goal of not being limited by my weight ever again.

YOU CAN DO THIS!  Good luck, good thoughts and good mojo are being sent your way.   

I am on Day 2 of my 2 week liquid diet, and I am sooo hungry! Yesterday I was sticking a lady at work (I am a Phlebotomist) and I swear she smelled like a freaking whopper!! omg it made me so hungry! lol
