Ramp Up

[secondchancesally 43]

I'm 4 days into liquid diet. So interesting because if I just have my 5 Unjury shakes I'm fine. But if I eat my 2 cups of veggies as a substitute for one if them (I'm allowed thus option) I get into all kinds of head hunger. I start to crave what I can't have, I wanna add butter, Salad Dressing etc. but if I just stick to the shake I'm fine. Interesting how addiction is a slippery slope. I can see why alcoholics can't 'have a sip'. Incidentally I have reeled in my temptations and stuck to the diet. Just sharing. I can see that when I go back to food it may be a real challenge. I'm glad I'll have my band with me to help contain that urge to overeat. I'm on my way to NYU now for my pre op thinking, "oooh oooh child, things are gonna get easier" love that song.

Day 7 for me. I am halfway through my pre op diet!

I am allowed 3 Slimtime shakes plus an extra 225 calories of low glycemic veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage etc.

If I just have the veggies at a meal I find I crave more so I drink my shake and then have the veggies and I am good to go.
