Who wants to do a 5 day liquid diet with me for "fun"?! It will keep you from eating candy on Halloween! I promise I won't cheat! I feel like I've been eating too much "junk" lately and the liquid diet helps me kick that sugar craving. Last time I did 5 days of shakes I didn't want any sugar for weeks. We can do update pictures and it will make food planning super easy!!! My family are complete party poopers and won't do it with me. I did it by myself before so I'm sure I can do it again I just thought it might be fun to do it together.....as fun as self torture can be anyway. I'm going to get my shakes tomorrow and get this party started.

Monday was my Day 1 and it went great! It's easy to forget about food while busy at work. Got all my fluids in - felt like I might float away at some points.

Today, Day 2, is going just fine so far, but I anticipate this afternoon may be a bit more of a challenge since I'm home all day having work done on my house. I get snack-y at home - the nuts and jerky call to my brain. I'm determined to persevere though and keep busy with wall painting projects.

Also, I learned I need to stay off the scale - water weighs a lot and nothing pleasant comes of weighing after drinking 32 oz. of water.

Sorry, in my previous reply I said, "WTG, Ladies!" and I obviously should have been more gender-inclusive! My apologies!

That said, I'm intrigued. I did have a pretty lengthy stall when I went from liquid diet to soft foods. I'm wondering if that happens after fasting, as well?

@@Shustar Thanks....show off!! Lol! Last time I tried to jog I swear I popped a lung!

@@sprocket Good luck! I'm with you, if I don't weight first thing in the morning naked I don't even try.

You little skinny mini! I think you will be wildly successful this time! @elode.

@@Shustar Oh, Well let's hope. I really don't want to spend time in the hospital over this "exercise" nonsense!

Well my 5 days are officially up! I'm going to bed soon. I want to thank everyone who joined in and did this with me. I also want to thank the ones who didn't but stopped in to encourage us that were. It been a "different" kind of 5 days to say the least. It hasn't been too hard but willpower is amazing when you actually use it. We will see what tomorrow brings but as far as the 5 days is concerned we kicked it's butt!! Hopefully this is just the kick in the pants I needed. I made a promise to myself that I would never allow myself to go back to the old me. This surgery was a "gift" and I'm not a Indian giver!! I hope you all found some success with this Be bold and be blessed!

I fell off the wagon yesterday because I was so hungry. Nothing bad just solid food.???? but there are more days and more challenges! Maybe the next one I can stick to it! Great job all!

There will be more. Today I found out my insurance has approved my orthodontic treatments so I will have a palate expander in December. That would cause me to be on liquids for awhile. It will be put in on December 18th so I may not even have to worry about the holidays. Mixed blessing!

@@Elode How is your restriction today? Mine was as tight as after surgery. I love it!

Finished last night! Great challenge- lost 4 pounds in 6 days- not too bad. Thanks!

@@wannaBthinsoon I don't know because I chickened out and drank a shake.I also brought a shake for lunch....maybe tonight.

ohkay - I'm more then sure that this has been asked, but why no straws - for me it makes it easier to sip if I have a straw then without... mind you - i've probably read the answer somewhere else as well, but I don't remember it

I use straws

Ok, so I've been keeping up to date with you all and am impressed with your results.

So much so that, beginning Monday (Aus time), I'm gonna have a crack at 5 days on liquids..

I'll do my pre-op soups, as I have some left over, along with my protein drinks...

I'm happy to allow myself a couple of spoons of yougurt in the evening, but that'll be it..

To all those of you who have done or are doing this, thank you very little for inspiring me to do such a crazy thing...
