Hello everyone, does anyone have any advice on how to stay motivated during the all liquid phases? I feel like i may go crazy that I can't eat solid food for so long!

You can do it. Just get on the scales ever couple days and its a motivator!!!! Didn't think I LCD do it till I saw that number shrink. Try and stay busy. It's all worth it n the end. I'm 2 weeks post op and I made it!!! So far in one month I'm -22 lbs!!!

Congratulations on your new healthy life.

You will stay motivated by looking at the big picture, don't get stuck on the head game of it. When you are on liquids don't count calories, get on the scale. or worry about your weight. If you are hungry have more liquids. And if you get frustrated come here for the support.

We will help you through it. Good luck!

Yeh. Never mind what I said. I know nothing

Hi--we're nearly in the same boat! I'm January 9th, and this is my third day liquid diet, which I'll have all the way up through surgery. This afternoon was very hard for me--I really wanted a sandwich. So far, I've been able to distract myself by drinking lots of tea and leaving the room when anyone is eating. Also, I've been cleaning. It's really a great distraction, and it keeps me from focusing too much on wanting to eat.

I am reminding myself nearly every minute that I am strong enough to do this, and that my time of change comes with challenge--but I am equal to those challanges. Nothing awesome comes from easy stuff is what I say to myself. Plus I whine to my husband, sister, and friends

Good luck! Maybe we could keep in touch and help each other as we go on this journey.

Thank you all so much for the support. I look forward to having you all on my journey to healthy!
