I am day 8 into the liquid diet. It sucks big time.:thumbup: Oh well that is the way things goe it seems. i confess i just cheated---i ate 3 slices of cucumber and onions and 4 carrotts. big deal (i hope)i started this journey when i stepped on the scales and saw the numbers 460 lbs. i said to myself that i was gonna die, be crippled or loose weight. started working out at a gym and got on the Lap Band program. i am down to 399--never thought a 3 would look sooooo good. i feel so much better and heck--i am sill a jolly, happy guy. There is just less of me. the band is gonna be "installed" on the 16th. the surgery does not bother me as much as the "what if i cant hang " thoughts. i know i can do it but it is just hard to think of success given a lifelong struggle with the weight. reading these posts has given me a bit of support and i hope i can be of support to others. BTW i can spell. it is my keyboard that cant spell and does not always(usually) use that caps/shift key. sorry if anyone gets offended. havent looked at enuff posts to see if the grammar/spelling police are alive and well on this blog. if they are, we might not get along too well unless they have a good sense of humor.:redface:
