Topic: Milk diet advice...
My 4 week milk diet begins on Monday, Nov. 14th. I'm going through a whirlwind of emotions right now. I'm pissed, sad, scared, nervous and have an enormous fear of failure. This is going to be a real test of my will power, that's for sure. It's crazy to think that the only thing holding me back is my relationship with food and how I rely on it. I keep telling myself, "we eat to live Amber, not live to eat"... But when you are 324lbs and have eaten yourself to as high as 350, you look at food as a means of survival. Now, to not have that is going to be a real challenge for me, to say the least. I know what I'm fighting for, I know that the end result is worth it and I feel like I'm capable, however, I'm just as fearful.
Any tips on how to survive the 4 weeks. What did an average day look like for you, drinking wise? Anyone else have a fear of failure?
Thanks for listening,
Amber

I'm sure it's the inability to go!
You will start to see the lbs go, just be patient. Sometimes when I'm doing really well on a diet plan and start weighing myself everyday, the scale becomes even more of an enemy. Give yourself a reprieve from the scale, continue to drink your fluids and eat your liquidy/mushy foods, whatever cagle has you on and stay positive. It will happen for you sister, no freaking out!!!!

I am on a soft foods diet, and having a real hard time adjusting to this. I am barely eating 3 oz of meat, but I do my best.
I am in love with Taco Bell's Pinto and Cheese. I get a ton of protien from that and I eat Kroger's Carb Smart yogurt.
I eat shrimp and sausage for protien....pretty much I have been told I can eat whatever I like protien wise as long as I can tolerate it.
I was suppose to go for my month check up, but three days running a 103 fever kind of put that on hold until next Thursday, at least that will be my real 1 month.

Yes, it will come off. You are likely dealing with water retention like I did-it just effects everyone in different ways. One thing I know about this surgery is you will lose weight. Just stick to the diet and you will.
I was constipated-bloated-etc. etc. I was having a problem losing. And I am sure I weigh much more than you do. Weight is supposed to come off much faster the more you have to lose. so...hang in there and don't worry!
