[not so much a question as a vent]

I started my pre-surgery liquid diet today. While taking my daughter to school, I realized just how big of a change this is going to be to my way of thinking.

Every other billboard it seems was for fast food. Their marketing dollars were well spent, because as I saw them, I instinctively thought, "Ooh, a <insert name of burger, sandwich, chicken, etc.> sure would be good for lunch." And then I remembered I'm on liquids. And then I realized I need to be aware of these marketing messages and my conditioned responses. Only then am I going to be able to overcome the conditioning.

I am sleeping more for that exact reason. I usually have cravings about 9:00 at night. A couple of melatonin, and I'm out at 8:30.

Hubmacfan,-- here is a note I was once told about in how to eat chocolate cake Cut your slice, place it in your hand and then very quickly wash it off under the water faucet , maybe this would work with your cravings JUST THINK OF IT don't go near any fast food Rest. Good luck YOU CAN DO IT Yes you can
