    Carlye got a reaction from sassycas45 in pre-op liquid diet, commence....   
    Day 4 seems to be A LOT better than previous days for me thus far. Yesterday I was listless and woozy. Today I snuck in a mini-nap at lunch (maybe 15 mins) and have focused on increasing my Water intake. I feel a lot stronger.
    I got some good advice today from a co-worker. She suggested I focus on how different my body is feeling through this process - whether it's hungry, tired or cleansed. Realize that this is the beginning of a huge, positive change. My body is feeling that change. And I'm moving in the direction I've been waiting for since November, when I started this process!
    That perspective motivated me - hopefully it motivates you, too!

    Day 2 was a toughie - definitely got hungry/woozy in the evening. I just went for a walk, though, to distract myself.
    I think the more Water I drink, the better I feel. And I swear nothing has tasted better than veggie broth these past two days!
    We can do it!

    It's very hard! And you will actually feel like you're starving for the first 3 days or so. Get all different kinds of sugar free jellos and Popsicles. Those help! And the shakes curbed my appetite a lot too. I had to stay busy doing whatever I could to keep my mind off of food. I went to bed early every night. I took some pictures of myself naked and looked at them every time I felt I was gonna cheat. :/ TMI but it helps!! I felt angry and down the whole time and that is normal. The 2nd week is a downhill slide with much more ease! I'm 14 hours away from being sleeved! And I thought I'd never make it! You can do it!
