Liquid Diet Day #1

After about 3 months fighting with the insurance company I got my surgery approved :)! July 16th!

 

So today is the first day of my liquid diet and I'm starving! My doc has me on the OptiFast system. So I had one of those shakes after I got settled in at work around 730. Then I had a can of water - 12 oz. Now it's about 1030 and my tummy is grummmbling!

 

My office is having a 4th of July cookout today so if I have another shake now, then I can't be social and have my "soup" when everyone is eating - argh, decisions decisions.

 

I'm really scared that I will become anti-social by not eating. I just started really talking to people again and coming out of my shell. Hubby is trying to be supportive but I just :wink: don't know how long his "support" will last.

 

It's good to have a place to vent!
