June 19, 201214 yr I am super excited about this journey! I started the two week liquid protien diet today. Had a few rough patches but for the most part was not too bad.

June 21, 201214 yr hi! i'm also scheduled for july 2! I started my liquid diet 4 days ago. today i'm doing well with it. yesterday was rough! i was on the verge of tears! lol so silly! i keep hearing by day 5, it doesn't bother you anymore. how's it going for you? i just added you as a friend... lets keep in contact to help each other!
June 21, 201214 yr Author HI!! Looks like we have more in common than just our surgery date.....our start and goal weight is almost identical. I too am on day 4 of liquid diet. Its going okay. My hunger level has been tolerable but the mental struggle has been tough BUT...this too shall pass.
June 21, 201214 yr hey! thats great! its nice to know when youre not the only one out there! i completely agree about it being more of a mental struggle! i dont feel that hungry really... but its like i WANT food (in contrast to NEED it). everywhere i look, there's food! i was joking with my friend that i feel like an addict on detox. literally. do you have to do 2 weeks of liquid afterward too?
June 22, 201214 yr Author That is an excellent way to describe it.....detox!! You have to do two more weeks of liquids after?? Bummer. I have to do one week of liquids after but can add sugar free hot chocolate and then the second week I get to start the mushy foods. I told my husband Jul 9 I get to eat cottage cheese and mashed potatoes!! So looking forward to that. My husband had carpal tunnel surgery today so I had to fix dinner for he and the kids......I made it but it was hard to remember not to lick the spoon!! I am trying to think of this as an exercise in the discipline training I have been missing all my life and will need to find in order to succeed at this. Plus I keep telling myself each day I mark off that to cheat now would be throwing all the work out I have already done!
