  1. It's ok!! Start again now!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  2. My mouth is super dry also. I am drinking allllll day long but it's never enough. Ugh. Oh well.... One more week and it will all be worth it!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  3. 35 days?!?! Oh wow! That's intense. Why so long? Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  4. Not TMI and YESsss. I had four days of straight liquid BM. It was miserable. Now it's tapered off and nothing is happening but I'm on day 6. I am starting to not feel hungry at all which I never thought the day would come. But I'm forcing liquids and broths down. One more week for me.... That's what I keep telling myself. I would for sure call the Dr just to check in if you're feeling uncomfortable about what's happening or you have questions. My office has told me a billion times call with questions, and they keep calling me to see if I have any. LOL. I hope this helps!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  5. Omg I know exactly how you feel. I'm on my pre op liquid diet and can NOT get them down. I'm suffering pretty hard right now. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  6. I feel so guilty or like something is wrong with me. I can't get these things down. Ugh. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone I feel so guilty or like something is wrong with me. I can't get these things down. Ugh. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  7. Yay! You're in the club of April dates. Haha I am from Maine. I was informed recently that a large percentage of Americans think that Maine is part of Canada. It's not. Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  8. I am allowed to have Protein shakes/drinks, Water, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, decaf coffee/tea, calorie free decaf any type of drink. I am a diabetic T2 and have to use everything that is sugar free, so it is hard for me to hit 800 calories a day on this diet (that is the amount of calories permitted). I can have the same things. But also Greek yogurt plain with no fruit or chunks. It's pretty difficult... But I'm ending my third day and I think tomorrow will be a bit easier. I HOPE anyway. LoL. I do agree that getting 800 cals in is difficult. Ugh. It's not fun but it's a means to an end right? Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  9. What is everyone's favorite Protein drink/powder? I have been struggling with this... Because let's face it, they're GROSS. I have discovered Syntrax nectar in Lemonade and its okish. Any tips for getting this done without gagging?!?!? Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  10. @@Heatherg0907 think positive thoughts. I know how cliche and annoying it can be to hear that, but you truly can set yourself up for failure if you begin by thinking you're going to fail. I will say a prayer for you and your success this time around!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  11. I am LOVING the support and all of the dates close or same as mine! It is sort of nice knowing I'm not alone in my misery. LoL Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  12. @@ambernicole22 you just made me spit out Water. That's soooo true SCARED STRAIGHT!! Thanks for lifting me up today!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  13. @@kjwrn thank you! I'm struggling today but it is better than yesterday I suppose. If only because it's two days closer to the end. Hahaha Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  14. That's cool Brittney! Thanks for the ice tip! I forgot they had suggested that in classes. I've been drinking like its my job! Do you want to keep in touch and be my "pal" through this?! I'm getting in my own head about all of it. Thankfully I do have a super supportive husband, who is handling my misery well. LoL. Good luck on your diet! And I'll say a prayer for you on Surgery day!! Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
  15. With my surgery date of April 11, I am officially in the middle of day 2 of the liquid diet. I have two weeks for this... And am feeling like I may kill someone before then. I am so hungry, and apparently everyone in my home feels like they need to eat real food. So prepping meals that I won't be able to eat is awful. Thankfully my husband is taking care of most of this stuff. When does the starving feeling go away?!? Ashlie M Sent from my iPhone
