  1. I'm sure you will do just fine!
  2. So jealous, but I really think this phase is preparing me for after surgery. I have been buying all my Vitamin addins for my Protein shakes, chewables and so on. I can tell you that the Callogen powder in my morning shakes have everyone saying that my skin is glowing. Go figure. I was using it to combat the hair thinning issue ahead of time. I have also ordered Omega 3 pouches, calcitrate and a bunch of other supplements. Good luck with your 3 days of restriction. Do you know what liquids are considered clear? I have to do that for a full day. Thanks.
  3. OMG! Worms? Explain please. Thanks though as I need to keep my babies away from the happy meals anyway. Lol.
  4. Cris, what work have you had done? If it's not too private. I want a breast lift, tummy tuck and a little butt work if I can save enough for it at some point. Who did your surgery? Thank you for coming out of lurking as I too have been lurking.
  5. Thank you so much. Yesterday was the push that has me planning ahead and not allowing myself to get hungry anymore. I am thankful that it was 12 days out and after calming down and taking those 10 suggested deep breaths, I had to laugh. The entire time I was eating, I kept thinking, why doesn't this food taste as good as it used to? I think a week of Protein shakes and Water has changed my taste buds or something because I had to make my physical self do what my mental self insisted on my doing. Interesting. I'm back on track and getting myself ready for the surgery. My passport has yet to arrive so tht is my next concern. Any advise on tht?
  6. I'm ready. I know I'm ready. I have planned this out to the T and can't believe what I just did! I'm really freaking out.
  7. Should I drink a bottle of that magnesium stuff to clean me out? Should I try to throw up? Why didn't I think about this before I drove my happy a$$ to mcdonalds and pigged out in the parking lot. I don't know why they built this darn mcdonalds across the street from my darn house anyway! I'm so upset. Where can I go to research this?
  8. And I had lost 6 pounds already since Monday! Uugghh! 10 years of college to be so stupid! This is exactly why I need this surgery. I start, but there is nothing holding me to it so I mess up every time.
  9. I'm literally in tears because I am 12 days out from surgery and just stuffed my face with a double cheeseburger, large fry and about 20 cheese puffs! I was doing so good on my liquid diet from Monday to about 20 minutes ago. OMG! Does this mean I will pay for surgery and get opened up only to be closed and told that I cant have the surgery and they are keeping my money? I am so STUPID! I had my shake ready but started thinking about how hungry I was. I know its because I was off work today and didn't drink my first shke until about noon. I am ready to get back on the wagon and not do this again. Am I too late?
  10. That site was very encouraging. Thanks so much. I felt better this morning. The Tylenol pm helped me to avoid starving in the night.
  11. I also think some of the issue is that I did my fourth crossfit session today and it was extra brutal. Should I stop until after surgery on the 24th and if so how long do I wait to start physical activity again after? So many questions, so little time.,
  12. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm in my room with no lights and about to shut down my iPad. Took two tylenols and now I feel like I need to throw up. Can't win for loosing. I don't know about this. Plus my grandfather died yesterday and I'm super stressed which makes me want to eat everything in sight.
  13. Ok, really guys, how the heck did you make it through this 15 days of no food. I am on day 1 and my hands are shaking, my head is pounding, I am dizzy and exhausted. This is BAAAAD! Please help! I had a protein shake for each meal and water in between. How long will this last or what am I doing wrong?
  14. i read it and totally took your advice. I have tried to drop one meal a day only for now. That way I can gradually move toward the liquid diet requirement. Thanks for the advice!
  15. My surgery is scheduled for July 24th at 7am sharp. I live in Houston, but will be having the surgery in TJ Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. Nervous is an understatement.
