I tried it out for a few days and it's definitely hard. I tried to drink as much water, powerade zero, and propel as possible. That seemed to help, but I was still wanting to have something in my mouth. I may try again and incorporate sf gum too. I think once I get to the "HAVE TO" stage, I will do better. It's all psychological for me. If I know I can still have something, I do, and I want it more. But if I know I cannot, it's a little easier. Thank you for the encouragement and prayers! I definitely need them!! I hope your days go smoothly and it passes quickly. You are also in my thoughts and prayers. xo

Thank you all so much for the encouragement! I am starting a trial run today. I want to prepare myself psychologically. The hunger part isn't the problem, it's the fact that my world has revolved around food for 33 years. I have to develop that new way of thinking. Pray for my strength!!

This whole process has not been scary at all, except the thought of not being able to eat for an entire week. I am mortified that I will fail and will have my surgery postponed. How did y'all cope and get through that week on the liquids? I am such a creature of habit and probably a bit OCD. SO when things get out of order, I get nervous. Any tips, tricks or things to help me focus are appreciated. Thanks!
