Thanks for all the great comments!!! It really helps, to think we can all support each other!! Question? I'm on week 4, the "muchies" What else can I eat besides, mash potatoes, soup and pudding?? msmom

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING, I HAD MY SURGERY ON MAY 5TH AND HAVE BEEN ON LIQUID FOR THREE WEEKS... IT WAS THE MOST DEPRESSED I HAVE EVER BEEN... I JOKED TO MY KIDS THAT I WAS GOING TO EAT THEIR TOENAILS, I WAS SO HUNGRY, BUT I DID IT... I AM SO PROUD OF MY SELF, AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO REALLY CHANGE MY LIFE.... GET YOU A NEW SET OF SCALES AND WEIGH YOURSELF EVERY OTHER DAY... YOU'LL START TO SEE THE LBS. FALL OFF & IT REALLY HELPS YOU KEEP YOR SANITY... tONIGHT, I HAD MASHED POTATOES, FOR THE 1ST TIME AND LICKED THE BOWL,"LIKE A DOG" BUT I HAVE MADE IT... IF I CAN DO THIS, YOU CAN TOO... I LOST 16 LBS IN THREE WEEKS.. NOTHING TASTES THAT GOOD... GOD BLESS YOU!!!

:thumbs_up: HAD MY SURGERY ON MAY 5TH, AND WENT FOR MY 1ST DR. VISIT TODAY, AFTER SURGERY... LOST 16 LBS. AND IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE... IT WILL TEST YOUR STRENGTH AND YOU WILL THINK YOU ARE GOING CRZY!!! BUT YOU CAN AND WILL GET THRU IT.. IF I DID IT ANYONE CAN... I EVEN HAVE 2 KIDS TO FEED... NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SEEING THAT WEIGHT FALL OFF... BE STRONG AND KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE... GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey Stacie, I just had my surgery last week and I'm going for my first pre-opp. today.. I've lost 22lbs and loving it, wanting more... I want you to know that the clear liquid was the hardest thing I ever had to do... especially having kids to take care of, too. But if I can do it any body can... You will think you are going crazy on about the 4th day of no food, then the weight just starts falling off. Get a st of scales and do not weight every day, but every couple of days and you will see the results... Remember... "ITs not forever and I Can Do This" Nothing tastes as good as Loosing Weight Feels... Go on walks, chew sugar free gum, add the sugar free cool aid/crystal light, to the water and Pray... Think of all the weight you'll loose by next year... I just found this talk forum, today and wished I had it last week, but maybe with everyone's advise, We all can do this... msmom
