Happy Holidays,

I guess I third that. My surgery is this Friday, the 8th! I can't say im nervous but I am anxious to get off this liquid diet.. Granted I will be on it for 3 more weeks, I know that my hunger pains wont be the same.

As far as protein shakes go, I ordered the unjury sample pack which should be here soon.

I am enjoying the atkins advantage brand. I just finished drinking the Strawberry and it tastes like milk with the strawberry syrup from when I was a kid.

I also purchased the Syntrax Nectar Grab N Go packs from Vitamin Shoppe. The kiwi strawberry is a good flavor and mixes well with water. I still have the carribean cooler, fuzzy navel, chocolate and vanilla to try.

Best of luck and prayers to all who are having surgery this week and this month! Prayers for me too!

Feb 11 in Tijuana kind of nervous really excited!!

Feb 11 in Tijuana excited and nervous at the same time. In one week and one day I'm there!!

Someone help me!.. i am sooo struggling on this diet. And to add insult to this " injury"' date=' the nurse practitioner called me and happened to hear how congested i am. She said if it doesnt clear up, they will cancel surgery!!!!!!! Im naturally stuffed up but have had an upper resp infection for the past 2 months...(on and off)

Please pray that this cold clears soon!!.. if they cancel its back to food for a day for me. I cant do this another week.. its torture.

Where i am, we can only have 5 shakes a day. Nothing added but the powder and the milk. We can have broth and crystal liht etc.. nothing more.. i cant do but so much chicken and beef broth. Vanilla strawberry and chocolate are now my enemies. Help me lord.. this too shall pass![/quote']

Old wives tale, but it works. 1/4 cup of vinegar add some liquid honey, just to sweeten and drink. Serious it will kill any chest cold etc that you have!

Any other Canadians?

So I am on my week long liquid diet before surgery. Would it be so bad if I had a chunk of prime rib during the Super Bowl?

yes w/ the butterflies. I keep second guessing myself. one minute i'm thinking this is exactly the change I need. the next I'm thinking, why am I putting myself through this, what's so bad about being fat, you're healthy, you don't want to make a mistake do you?

I just need to get past the surgery and move on to the next step so I stop doubting myself.

My thoughts exactly!

Don't do it!! Think of next year and all the weight you'll have lost. I know it's hard to erase our attachment to food and pleasure but try! Once you beat it you'll win forever!!
