My surgery date is April 29th and I'm wondering if its normal to be mourning the loss of food and soda which is a big deal for me! I feel almost like I'm losing my best friend I'm sure this sounds crazy lol. I start my liquid diet on April 15th and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do 2 weeks of no food

Yup!!! And wait til after when you really can't do it....you'll work through it but it really is like losing a friend (an evil unhealthy friend but still a friend).

Yes very evil and unhealthy!!! I think my friends think I'm crazy cause I'm like I only have a week and half till I'm on all liquids. That seems to be my biggest fear

Try starting liquid diet while on your period!!!!!!!! I think I'm being TESTED!!!!

That would be hard I had a full hysterectomy in 2008. I feel for you tho cause I think that's when I would crave the most

My surgery is April 10, I only have to be on full liquid diet for 3 days prior. I feel the same way and when they told me not to treat the days prior to full liquid diet as the last supper that is exactly what my friends call it trying to eat a little of all my favorite foods because i feel that i will never have them again. But thats ok harder for me was to give up caffeine with the withdrawal headaches that finally stopped. omg

I haven't gone buck wild with eating only because that's just more I'm going to have to lose and I'm trying to back off the soda..I'm down to one 20oz a day so I'm hoping that by the end of next week we can have a peaceful break up lol

I have try to quit pop but thats my fall back

I haven't had a soda since March 15! It was HARD, but I knew I it was going to have to happen, so I quit cold turkey! I did have a "food funeral" of sorts. I had mexican, chinese, local root beer stand, local italian place, and some of my favorite homemade foods. I will have one more to go in May when I have my sisters biscuit and gravy.

I did the cold turkey with the caffeine also because I knew if I didn't I would keep having one more starbucks one more coke (diet cherry dp since I found out diabetic). the headaches were extreme and I really just started drinking coffee 2 years ago until then I never liked it.

Thats what I say just one more

Very normal! I thought I was being normal and able to watch food network and be at the table while my family ate, but I became angry and emotional. I felt sad and like I got dumped by food lol. It was a phase for me and I back to watching food shows and life gets easier. You can do it! Stay strong hang in there

Three days after I got home from the hospital I made ultimate pretzel crusted peanut butter cookie Reece's brownie bars. It was a test for me. Cooking is one of my favorite things and I thought if I can make these without wanting to lick the spoon I'll be ok. I did it! I sent them to work with my husband and I was told never to make them again... I guess they were way too good and to many calories.
