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.

Good morning, @@VSGAnn2014 ! I have to say that doing the 5 day reset that my Dr "prescribed" did seem to reset my restriction. It felt like I could eat more before I did the reset than afterward. That being said.....I had a realization during the 5 days of Liquid Protein and that was that before I began the 5 days I was GRAZING! I was grazing on CARBS!!! Pretzels to be precise. So, the 5 day reset allowed me to have the head hunger and boredom hunger and not give in to it, whereas I did give in to it before. Does that make sense? So, I think in my case it "reset" my head, not my sleeve.

Anyone want to start this again? I'm in.

I am going to begin another 5 day reset on the 3rd. In support of a friend who is starting her preop liquids on that day for her surgery on the 10th! There are about 50 of us from the same employer who are going to support her in that way, and lose a little extra poundage in the process!

I'm in!

I'm starting another five days on Monday (tomorrow). I want to break out of the 150s and get away from the Thanksgiving carbs. We are leaving on a two week vacation next Sunday, so this will be a great way to keep the fridge empty except for Protein shakes.

@VSGAnn2014 I lost a little over 3 lbs. and didn't gain it back after restarting regular eating, so I don't think it was Water weight, at least not all of it anyway. My sleeve is normally quite tight, so I didn't really notice any less ability to eat than before. It did help to point out where I was giving into the munchies and, once again, reinforce the difference between my head hunger and real hunger.

Ok remix and sprocket, tomorrow's a go!

I just started my reset today! I was going to do all liquids but the way my head hurts I may do the 2 shakes and a meal under 300 calories. we will see how tonight goes. I have had 2 shakes and 2 things of sugar free Jello

One day down. The Only thing I had besides my shakes was about 2 oz turkey breast. Day 2 here I come. I already feel better.

You all inspired me. I am on day two of liquids. I stalled on weight loss for two weeks so a jumpstart was exactly what I need.

Looked up this thread the other day because my weight has been stuck between 191 and 195 for months. I let sneaky carbs back into my life and they have caused enough havoc.

Today is day 1 of liquids

I'm determined to do this!

I made it to the afternoon without killing anyone. I consider that a win on day 1.

Now I just have to survive TONIGHT. Instead of watching TV where I usually like to snack snack snack, I will turn on my treadmill and walk walk walk.

day 1 of liquids, determined to do this!

Proudgrammy.....CONFIDENCE! We got it

Good luck to us all. I'm hoping that at the end of the 5 days the scale has moved DOWN.

P.S. - I am now eating about 3oz of tomato Soup at my desk. It's the MOST DELICIOUS thing I have ever tasted.

@@proudgrammy how are you doing today?

I survived day 1

I am not going to be so cocky as to say "I've got this" but I am happy with how things are going so far. I stepped on the scale this morning and it did go down slightly. I am determined to NOT get on the scale again until Monday morning.

If I can do the 5 days of liquids and not weigh myself until Monday morning I'm going to buy myself the long sleeved Life is Good shamrock t-shirt I've been eyeballing for a while now

Here's to day 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you guys! I'm only 5 weeks post op but saw this and wanted to cheer you on!!!
