Setting up a blog to take my mind off food!

It's Sunday afternoon and I am bored :thumbup: and hungry. 9 days to go until surgery and I am struggling through the optifast stage.

I am looking foward to some roasted vege's when I do the family Sunday Roast tonight, but it will be hard to cut up the meat and dish it out without trying some :thumbup:.

Reading through the some of the inspiring results that people on these forums have posted is what is keeping focused on my ultimate goal of looking like a healthy 45 year old mum. :tounge_smile:

Hear! Hear! Having only the veggies is sooo difficult! I spooned a bit of the broth into a cup and put it into the refrigerator to cool so I could break off the fat and have a bit of broth with my veggies. It helped to at least have that meaty taste.

I just got banded on 12/31, and the liquid stage is HARD! But, it is totally worth it, when you see how small your stomach has shrank to after surgery and how much you lose during that time you will be very happy! I have lost about 20 pounds so far - so keep slurpin' the soup and good luck to you!
