Liquid Diet - not counting the days anymore!

So I finally stopped counting the days on my liquid diet and it just seems kinda normal now. I can feed my kid a burger or whatever she wants and am not too tempted. Actually, she has taken a liking to soup lately - "just like mommy" she says. Which just goes to show how much our kids learn from us when we're trying not to teach them.

 

I'm determined to create new habits for myself with this surgery and teach her how to have an active, healthy lifestyle. I don't want her to be a fat couch potato kid that gets teased at school, like I did.

 

I went in for my pre-op stuff on Friday and it is getting more and more real that this is a LIFE LONG decision - not just a diet. And, that's ok. Today I am at peace with myself and my decision. :biggrin:

So I am not on a liquid diet, but a no carb/no sugar diet for 10 days before my surgery. I was having the hardest time the first few days, but yeah, it starts to feel normal after a while. I'm glad you got to that point too!! Good luck with the last little while!!!
