The Challenge has begun!

I started my Liquid Diet Yesterday (8/17/09) So far I am fine, but it is also starting to show me that I didnt have an easting disorder, I was just a bored eater who ejoyed foods from different places, as well as of course enjoyed cooking and had portion control issues. Yesterday I sipped on crystal light most of the day, and had a few sugar free popsicals during the day, and ended the night with a serving of Jello. Today I have had crystal light and wil be having some jello shortly. I have to keep focused and always have my goal in mind so it doesnt push me off track. Although I was told to start my diet on the 23rd of this month, I felt I might as well give myself a headstart since I had gained some weight since my last weigh in. I am excited but nervous becuase I want to do everything almost right. The challenge has begun and I plan on challenging myself to stay away from the stuff that I know is not good for me. As stewie from Family Guy would say, "Victory is Mine!" as my day continues, I plan on keeping busy to keep me from cheating. Yay me!

I am on the 10 day liquid diet, drinking the UNJURY protein Shakes... I drink it with my soy milk which gives me even more protein. I started my Actual pre-op diet on the 23rd and I have been fine... I feel like I have more enery and have already lost about 6 pounds since Sunday. I tend to use the sugar free popsicles and jello to hold me up, but I've been really good with my protein shakes which I have one for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My surgery dates is Sept 3, and I am very excited and can't wait to get started with a banded life.

Good luck with your journey, hopefully we can find a way to support each other.
