Liquid Diet

So...today is Day 2 of my liquid diet. Initially, I was so psyched about this portion of my journey it didn't matter if my physician told me I could only have one can of Slim Fast to sip on for the entire day. Keep in mind I said initially. Today, however, I am singing a new tune. Although I love the flavor of the Slim Fast I AM STARVING :( !!! At this point I don't know what I want more...sleep or food. Yesterday I was not this tired. Today, I feel like I haven't gotten any rest. I'm assuming it's from the lack of food. I'm still encouraged and am looking forward to the next leg of my journey which is surgery on September 20, but right now... right now I'm exhausted and could go for some extra spicy buffalo wings with chucky bleu cheese dressing on the side. But since that's not gonna happen, I guess I'll just have to take a deep breath and hang in there! *Huge sigh*

NiiJ,

Smiley is right hang in there girl! You can do it , you can do it , you can do it ! Get some Crystal Lite and put it in the blender with 8 0zs of water and some ice , it tastes like a misty from dairy queen to me , helps break up the monotony.

For my preop I did EAS Carb Control Chocolate Protein shakes with chocolate whey powder in the blender with ice and two table spoons of vanilla greek yogurt, YUMMMMM!!!!! Its like having a chocolate shake!

Hope that helps :-) But Hang in there !!!!!

Gladiator protein mix from Smoothie King is the best. Get vanilla and add cocoa powder for chocolate, vanilla, lemon, coconut and raspberry extract added in are great also. Don't forget a pack or two of equal for sweetness. You'll do fine.

I am on day one and hungry. My friend had her sleeve in March and she said her doctor allowed them to do jello squares, all she wants as long as it's sugar free. I'm going home to make jello on my cookie sheet. She also mentioned she had warm water with lemon, it made her feel full. I'm willing to try anything, I can't believe I feel this way on the first day!
