Am I a newbie. Yes. I started my 2 week liquid diet today. Surgery on the 3rd. If I have questions or need advise I want to hear from vets. I like being told straight and not sugar coated. Sugar coated won't help me succeed! I know that everyone's body is different and outcomes are different. But I also know that I am doing this so I can live, live longer and healthier. So why in the world would I jeopardize a tool that I was thankfully Givin to eat the same way that put me where I am now. NO! I have to change me, my mindset and I have to be willing to do it. And I refuse to self sabotage my health and life for a piece of bacon, or cake, or whatever it may be when I know that ..."hmm just onepiece can't hurt or well I already screwed up and ate one so why not keep eating wrong all day I'll go back to what I should be eating tomorrow." Hello! No! New mindset. I'm stronger then this. I can do this. I'm worth it. I'm not going to throw away a gift and tool. So yes there are newbies who just don't care. But there are also plenty like me who needs our vets advice and Ideas. Just my 2 cents.

I have 3 kids. My daughter will be 21 this month, then I have two boys. 17 and 15. My youngest has autism. And it finally hit me that he will live with me for the rest of my life. So I damn well better make sure I am around for as long as I can be. Then I have a 3 month old grandson. I want to be able to run around after him and play with him without getting tired or being able to bend over like I couldn't with my own children. I can't change the past. But be sure I want to change my future. I need to be healthy not just for them, but because I have never know what that means. I have always had medical issues and struggled with my weight. So yes I would like to try and find the Real me down in there some where.

A couple sips is all you need right now. It's a sip by sip that will get us all through. Every sip counts. And the more Protein you are able to get in the better you will start to feel.
