Tough Time

I am 3 days into my liquid diet and I am literally dreaming about chinese food and pizza. I feel like a mess. Im exhausted and I pee like 12 more times a day than normal. haha.

I am sticking to it though and I know its what I need to do if I want to be healthy and lose the weight but Im literally itching for something to eat! my boyfriend laughed at me bc I told him watching him eat cereal was like porn for the hungry. :/ I feel pathetic and while I know its definately 100% the right choice and I will get through it, its hard to not feel like this about food. UGH! Why is everything so hard. lol. Ok rant and venting over, Im going to have some water and go occupy myself to stop thinking about food.

Thanks for reading

PS- all this energy loss and focusing on what Im "eating" is making the time go fast. 12 days left and Ill be in surgery! Im not even nervous or excited or sad or scared...Just Hungry! lol (well, Maybe a lil excited)

Hey Lee!
I'm less than 3 weeks out from surgery (1/11/11) and I guarantee it's worth it! I'm already down over 21 pounds! It is hard until you can start eating some soft foods though. It's not physical hunger; it's head hunger. I started crying watching my fiance eat a turkey sandwich when I was about a week out! Just hang in there and try to vary the protein powders! Good luck on your surgery!

OMG! Congrats! Thats so awesome! Im so proud of you!

I def broke down on Saturday! Cried like a baby over chinese takeout. (apparently my bf cant cook. lol) I feel bad for him...and me! lol

The diets very strict. only carnation breakfasts. But Ill ask for the other brnads of shakes for after. Thanks!

I hate head hunger! haha

The liquid diet goes by fast, just try to hang in and try exercising every time u feel hungry and see if that helps, it keeps u busy at least and is a good start to helping u loose weight

Thanks! Im trying to walk up and down the stairs in my house when I get super hungry. Its kinda funny. lol Ill keep trying to keep busy and workout!

I was on an 10 day preop liquid diet and days 3 and 4 were the absolute hardest for me... but once i got past that hump the end was really not that bad.. your body adjusts and things DO get easier and just think everyday youre thast much closer to your surgery day!! try not to watch others eat.. go in  another room or keep occupied with something else! Good luck girl!

I have been avoiding people eating. I feel alone. lol. my bf is basically starving himself til I leave. I feel bad for him. I even cried the other day bc he could have food and I couldnt. Its not easy! lol

Thanks for the support. Days 4 and 5 have been the worst for me. Today was better. :)

I am there with you~!     I know we will make it through and hopefully it will sail by and then we will be post op and wondering where the time went~!!!   hang in there!

OMG I wanna rip someones head off. I cant even watch TV. All the commercials?!?! and my neighbors never cooked like chefs before now. lol

Oh my... Thank!

LMAO!!!!!!
