Well, it's the first day of my pre op liquid diet. So far today I've resisted...

1) a fluffy, chocolate cupcake my coworkers just left in front of me during a meeting

2) getting starbucks at lunch

3) a chocolate covered doughnut my son only ate half of and then left next to me

I have done SO GOOD today! It's only the first day so I know it'll get worse before it gets better. But, one of my mantras is 'one day at a time.'

So, what are you proud of today?

I am proud of the fact that you did so well on your first day!!

I am proud of the fact that I've been craving something sweet all day and I've not given in:)

I am proud that I stayed on program all day. thanks for the nice post

I am proud that I worked out twice.

I'm proud that you stayed on the diet. This is a big fear for me. I'm not ready to begin the pre-op yet, but I'm doing some trial runs. I've been substituting protein shakes for breakfast and lunch most days and eating regular at dinner. It's amazing how quickly the shakes fill you up! Night time will be the challenge for me so I'm practicing now. It will be another 6 weeks before I have to get really strict so just psyching myself out.

I am right there with you! Started day 1 and have stuck it out so far. Never realized how much my stomach growls during the day. This has got to be some weird head hunger thing. I took a 30 min nap to only dream about eating McD's and I don't even like it. Go figure. We can do this!!!
