The kids and I will be making me one of these tomorrow! Instead of "Instagram this" we're going to "bariatricpal this" lol!!

I have 3 Royal chocolate Atkins shakes to get me started tomorrow but I will be having my hubs pick up a couple cases of Chocolate premier protein ready made shakes for the rest of the week and some broth. I think it's good to let your digestion tract rest for awhile.

I will NOT cheat! I didn't cheat on my two week pre-op and I'm not going to cheat now. It's just as important. I have a busy couple weeks of working out of town and school so that should help keep me on track. Oh but I will be drinking coffee. It's liquid! I really have to focus on the water. I'm horrible with water!!

@@jess9395 Hey whatever you can do! It's not easy but we have each other for motivation. @@AJ cowgirl Have you already started?

@@Amberina Yay!!!

You know why Proudgrammy is proud?! Because she can handle a little liquid dieting. And that's all I'm going to say about that!

@@KindaFamiliar Ok, I bet I'll have soooooo much fun and success doing this that I'll be doing it two weeks so you will be forced to do it then!

This is the BEST time. It's Halloween, winter is right around the corner (hybernation period) things get slow. I need to lose 10lbs and I'm not going to do that if my daughter insists on making stupid cookies! They are horrible to me in this house!!!! When I do liquids they have to fend for themselves.

@@KindaFamiliar Well FINE! But when I lose 10 lbs this week you're going to be pretttty jealous! Maybe you can find a song for that?!

@@proudgrammy Oh yay! See I knew you'd come through! You find out who your REAL friends are when the liquids come out! I will be on it with you tomorrow morning. I'm going to do 4 shakes and 64-90oz of water! Maybe some broth?

Who wants to do a 5 day liquid diet with me for "fun"?! It will keep you from eating candy on Halloween! I promise I won't cheat! I feel like I've been eating too much "junk" lately and the liquid diet helps me kick that sugar craving. Last time I did 5 days of shakes I didn't want any sugar for weeks. We can do update pictures and it will make food planning super easy!!! My family are complete party poopers and won't do it with me. I did it by myself before so I'm sure I can do it again I just thought it might be fun to do it together.....as fun as self torture can be anyway. I'm going to get my shakes tomorrow and get this party started.

@@KristenVSG2014 True, I eat some almost daily. My favorite is avacado and 1/2 pkg of starkist creations "Thai" style. Delicious!

@@lauraellen80 I made a chicken taco soup! I love throwing leftovers together and making a meal. Not everyone can do that! @@magtart I just bought spaghetti squash. How do you make yours?

@@KristenVSG2014 That looks delicious! I've a avocado eating fool!

@@downsizingdiva Thanks for sharing!

If your surgeon say it's ok then go for it.

Well my Dr brought me these little evil gems to the clinic as a "thank you" while I was filling in for them. I didn't eat any of them but they did stare at me all crazy on my two hour drive home! We had a "chat" about how I was not in any way attracted to them (lie) and how they were extremely lucky that I didn't believe in littering because if I did they would find their little pumpkin butts on the side of the highway! Then, for the cruelty they put me through I sicked the kids on them and BAM they are officially gone now.

@@Smallfry06 You will get there. I just had a salad but I make the mistake of getting full on veggies and then I don't get my protien in as much. I add meat and cheese but not enough. I get the shredded lettuce at Walmart (like for tacos) it's already cut up so its easy to eat instead of big chunks.

@@deedadumble And fabulous legs they are!

@@katladee lol Yes!

@@KindaFamiliar lol! Holy batman you did it!!! Yay!! Congrats!!

@@Smallfry06 I think I was 3 months-ish

@@kranky813 Yay!!! Those are all incredible, fabulous NSV!!! Isn't it the best feeling in the world!! Except maybe the boney-butt-itis. I have that too!

@@tera1982 Oh just hang on....you will!

@@KindaFamiliar That sounds delightful 8 bucks for 1/2 a hot dog!
