[07hope 12]

I am getting banded on the 20th. I am super excited and today was my first day of the liquid diet. I am starving right now but I know it will all get easier as the week goes on.

You just told my story.......I start my liquid diet today and I am very nervous. My job leaves me by myself a lot and I am a bored, nervous, and depressed eater. I have packed my luchbox and have decied to leave all cash and debit cards at home so I am not tempted to buy anything today. Being addicted to food has made me miserable and I hate that I feel like I have no control. I always have the thought of just one more, or I'll stop tomorrow. This is it, im taking my life back!!!! Good luck and hope to talk soon.

I'm so excited for all of you starting on your new life and your new journey. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I'm almost 11 mos post op and down 66 lbs, def worth it. Hard at times, yes but def worth it.

So proud of you guys and excited!!!

This is day 8 for me on the pre-op diet... and I want to reinforce to you that it WILL get easier. If I can do it, anyone can. I will not lie - the first 5-6 days were some of the hardest days I've ever had... but the cravings do reduce. Just make sure you drink enough Water (i have herbal tea a couple of times a day when I don't feel like plain water) as I can tell that I feel very tired if I haven't had enough liquids.

It is so helpful to come and read (or post) on this site when you are feeling like you can't do it - helped me several times. Hang in there, you'll do great

Day 2 and I have my a growling stomach. Yesterday wasn't too bad but this morning stinks!!!! I am allowed to have a protine dinner and that seemed to make it worse. coffee will be my filler this morning I hope. Good luck to all and WE CAN TO THIS!!!!!

I also start liquid diet on the 10th and surgery on the 24th. I have mixed feelings about the liquid diet. I want so bad to get it started because I know it is getting me closer to the date, but I'm afraid I am going to be a horror to be around. I have been warning everyone that anything I do or say during that time is not me. lol Good luck to you. I hope to stay in touch during our journey.
