progress starts in the mind

So I'm almost done with Day 5 and honestly I'm so proud of myself for not breaking. This is the first day I'm home all day while on my liquid diet. The kids were at grandmas too and I was so worried I was gonna break and just eat everything in site. But I didn't. Having shake 3 now. I save my last shake until literally right before bed to avoid waking up hungry at night.

I downed about 6 Popsicles tho. Every Time I had the urge to eat something I ate a Popsicle.

Down 9lbs since the 17th and that keeps me so motivated!!!

I'm now on day 4 of my pre-op diet and as of this morning I have lost 10 pounds! I mean, I know what the scale says, but I still can't believe it. Even though I'm allowed to eat 2 small meals a day, I'm still hungry all the time, although I notice the hunger goes away after I eat a calcium chew (I was saving those for post-up, but I needed something solid to chew). And guess what? The hunger went away. Maybe it's stomach acid that's mimicking hunger signals, and since calcium is alkaline, it shuts it right down? Regardless, I'm going to keep experimenting with that over the next few days and see if that helps on a regular basis, or was just a fluke.

@@bill1130 - I'm interested in the Kik group, even though I don't know what it is. I'll download the app and set myself up soon.

Once you get your self set up send me your Kik name and we will get you in

Day 4 was horrendous for me. But I pushed through and I'm on day 5 now and doing much better.

Hang in there. You can do this!
