I feel like I can't do this liquid diet. This chocolate shake is the worst. How will I make it five more days?!

Because you are a strong woman!!! You can do it!

Being at work and around all these people eating food is driving me crazy and I know this is just the beginning

I just focused on the fact that I wanted this surgery and this was the price of admission. It really helped. If it helps you get what you want it's not such a terrible sacrifice. I had to do it for ten days. It sucked mostly because I hated the shakes but found unjury.com and they weren't bad at all. Honestly, I know that "it's just the beginning thing" feels like it's all sacrifice forever now but that hasn't been the case for me. The liquid diet was tough and the first 5 days after surgery kind of sucked. I didn't have a lot of pain but I felt really yucky. Since then it hasn't been nearly as hard as I would have thought. When you aren't hungry you seriously don't want this stuff like you did before. It's so much easier than I thought it would be. Hang in there!

Thanks Lisa that's great to know. I like what u said about this being the admission price!! Thanks for the encouragement!

It's really a mental thing. Focusing on the prize is what gets me through! Feel free to come on here and complain and whine in the meanwhile. God knows I sure did lol. Good luck! It is really, really worth it! I'm only 3 weeks out and I haven't regretted this for a second yet.

I was scared of what the consequences might be if I didn't stick to the rules. Some surgeons will open you, then close you right back up if your liver is enlarged. Shrinking the liver is imperative to having a surgery with as few complications as possible. You're gonna make it, and these last five days are going to go by so fast it will be a shock when you suddenly find yourself at the hospital preparing for surgery.

Thanks guys. I'm trying hard to stay focused and i made it through day two! I have five days left and I know I can do this. I really do appreciate the encouragement. Not sure I could have made it through today without it. I'm sure I will have lots more whining and complaining lol;)
