So today is the first day of my 10 day liquid diet I'm ready for it then again I'm not ..working at FIVE GUYS BURGER&FRIES it's gonna be hard but i have to turn away from all that food I have my head on straight and I know what I NEED to do..... in 10days I'll be banded

Wish me luck

I know this is going to sound crazy, but put some Vic's Vapor rub inside your nose and you will not be able to smell the food. If you are seeing the food but smelling the VIC's you will not want to eat it.

I shall not wish you "luck" but instead "determination." The latter is what will get you where you want to be... It is an incredible journey but has many many pitfalls and you - like the rest of us - will experience joy and frustration. But determination will carry you through to your goals.

YES it sure will

I worked in the medical field for several years and worked at an Internal Medicine clinic with a few patients where we treated them in their homes and the homes were extremely nasty and stinky and that was my trick for getting into doing my job and not getting sick.........first several times I went into the homes I would puke from the smell, then I started doing the VIC's and it stopped.
