I didn't have to do one either. And trust, if you can't handle liquids now you should probably reconsider this whole thing because you're going to be the mayor of liquid city for the next month. And it sucks every single day.

I can't imagine having a dinner at work during the pre-op! My advice for the remainder of the pre-op is to stay busy! It's not easy but does get easier after the 3rd day (and, yes, I thought people were not being exactly honest about that when I was on my 2 week pre-op...but it was true!)

Good luck...you got this!

Oh ya day 1 is always the hardest I know but I dont think there is anyone that can honestly say their ready for 14 days with no food with a regular stomach...im doing.it, so no reconsidering not is even in the thought. I figure I can cry baby the.first few days lol :P but that it.would be better.by day 3....thanks for the.encouragement.

I'm right there with ya girl! Today was my day 1 of liquid diet. Protein shakes, broth, jello, sugar-free popsicles, and water. I did this once before for 4 days to see what it was like. The worst is the first 2 days. It's all about getting in tune with your mind and body. When I did it the first time it was really getting my head into this, my body adapted quickly and I was able to realize when I was and wasn't truly hungry. It was more my mind going "YOU CRAZY PSYCHO FEED ME!" lol Message me anytime :)

Day 2 is definitely not as hard. Had a mean headache this morning and I dont drink pop so its not the caffeine. Moody yeah..but better :)

Halfway thru day 3 and yes I weighed myself :/ lol but ive already lost 6.lbs and I was wanting to lose 15. 11 more days to go!

Ohhhh that's great! I haven't weighed myself yet. Maybe i'll do that tomorrow

Yeah i totally feel like I shouldnt have but it gave me motivation to keep going... i wanna lose 9 more before surgery.

I start 14 days next Wednesday, can't wait... NOT! I told my co-workers to be prepared next week, it probably wasn't gonna be pretty. I'll probably be ill and snappy for a couple of days. Phase one to a new life...

I was hungry day one, crybaby day two, and i dont give a care day 3! Bring on day 4. Except I had a bad leg cramp this morning, stress and dieting causes me bad bad charlies horses! I can't take my multi-vitamin without food im one of those that will almost faint and puke my guts up if i do...so far not too bad though!
