like how did you do it? i am struggling- and am only doing 1 week. how did those do two weeks. let me know so I can have the same willpower

I am on day 8 and its hard but I know what i want. I still need 6 days to go more than half way there. I just finished cooking some fajita for my husband and enjoyed the aroma but didn't even think twice about not eating it. It is only 2 weeks and it can be done. You can do it too. I found some good products and make fixing my liquids fun. I bought new measuring cups 2oz each in different colors and pretty mugs for my protein shakes. I get on this forum and read the posts. Stay busy. Focus on the reason why your doing the diet. Good Luck

A ton of willpower and a naked picture of myself for when I felt like I just had to eat! Laugh but it worked!

aww thanks everyone. it is a ton of will power and man it is taxing. im going to take a naked pic of myself now

Good idea Elode

@@wagyu Ha! But seriously DO NOT lose whatever device you are going to use for that! My phone was GLUED to my body at all times!

@@julbel721 You're welcome!

What about a naked photo of my husband instead? (No reason why...) ????

I'm going to start my liquid diet tomorrow. This sounds like what I would say later on, but you got this ????????

@@Catherine Davis Sure, why not?!

I hadn't thought about a naked pic, but I do look at myself naked in the mirror every morning and that is one daily motivator right there lol.

On a smaller scale, today marks 8 days pre-op diet with 12 to go. I have found that chewing bubble gum here and there helps to alleviate some of the psychological feelings of wanting to bite into something. It really has helped me.

I did 4 weeks because I was such a fat bastard..

And it SUUUUUUCKED!!!

The only way I got thru it was to keep reminding myself that I'd come too far (a couple of hiccups and false starts) to give up now..

Just keep it in the front of your mind that what you're doing is life changing in alllll the right ways...

And if it helps, look at @@Elode's naked pic!!!

@@KindaFamiliar Ha! but NO!

4 WEEKS? that is insanity no way did you stick to an all liquid diet for4 weeks that is insane. props to you that you did it, i have a heart attack just hearing 4 weeks. you are amazing.

and hahahaha

I'm on Day 12- surgery is this week on Fri 8/7! 1st day was rough but after has been good!

Just finishing day two. Had a massive migraine today - perhaps because of no caffeine? It was hard cooking dinner for my husband and kids and not being able to eat any ???? but apart from that I went okay. Twelve days to go ...

@@Catherine Davis You are a much better person than I! I let my hubs know up front I would NOT be cooking anything for 2 weeks, he was in charge of making sure the kids were feed. I stayed in my room every time they would eat. Guess what?! They survived!! Ha!
