Today is day 5 of the protein shake diet. Today at work is our work party! Once another our group brings in food to celebrate those birthdays for the month! Today is the day they are celebrating August birthdays and the empty cube right across from mine is where all the food is! Horrible day I tell you! I will not let this get the best if me! I have dive awesome! Just kinda need don't pick me ups or reminders or encouragement! Anything 6 days to go!!!

You can get thru this.... I didn't think I would make it thru all the liquid and restricted phases either. Definitely the toughest thing I've ever done.... But I made it thru! I'm almost five months post op and down 52 lbs! It's kinds like giving birth..... While in the process u think there's no fricken way.... But when it's over all u remember is how wonderful it is! Wishing u a speedy delivery. :-).

Thanks when was your surgery?

We have the same thing at my work and I feel your pain. That said, you can do this!! I'm pretty competitive so one thing that helps me is to think of all the people in my life who have said I can't do it and I pretend all the people who are visiting the birthday food station are saying in their head, "She can't do it...she's going to break and eat." That motivates me to stay strong. (Kind of screwed up, I know...but whatever works lol!)

Good luck! You'll be great!

That would be very hard. Do the best you can.

You got the right mind set!!! Be tougher than your mind hunger!!!

We went on vacation during mine and my hubby was waiting to go to his fave restaurant...a world famous large buffet. Literally rooms of food.

I drank nothing but my Protein shake and kept busy by talking to people at the tables around us (they started the convos...so no I wasn't bothering anyone). I made it and I know you will too.

Come back to this site if you start to feel yourself getting tempted. We're rooting for you!!

You can get through this.. they have food all the time here at work.. you and I only have 6 days.. don't sacrifice all the hard work that you have done for a short moment of fake bliss.. you got this..

Thanks all! I did make it through work! Yay! Was tempted but I know why I am doing this! A happy healthy life!

For all of those who say you can't go this trust me you can!!!! Just strength and will power! If I can be tempted all day long by a s'mores cupcake and not give in! Anyone can make it because anything s'mores is one of my biggest weaknesses
