Day 1 pre-op down, 13 more to go! Surgery day 7/3/17!!

Finished day 1 of liquids. I survived! Actually it really wasn't that bad. 3 premier shakes and what felt like a fresh lake of water. I'm not crazy, I know this was only day 1 and it's going to get harder as the days progress. I'm most concerned about this weekend, to much time, I need to stay busy. During the week I am typically crazy busy at work and the evenings go by fast. I just need to get through this weekend and I feel/hope that the next week I will be ok. The end of the month is a crazy week at work for me. Saturday 7/1 I figure I'll run errands and pack because I get out of dodge and fly in to San Diego Sunday morning. I figure a 4 hour flight and spending the day in Tijuana will take my mind off of food, I hope lol. I am so glad I stopped my Diet Pepsi addiction over a week ago and I feel fortunate that I had no withdrawals from it. Looking forward to meeting my surgery buddies and ?? for each of us to have easy and fast recoveries! I'm excited with anticipation and a little nervous.....

Hey ladies! Glad to hear everyone seems to be doing well. Today is Day 1 of my liquid pre-op diet. So far, so good! I'm guessing that this evening will be a little more difficult when I'm at home. I did weigh myself this morning....geeze. Seeing that # for sure solidified my decision on going forward with this and eliminating any second guessing that I've been doing in my head. I'm so ready for the next chapter!

I will likely discuss once I'm home, I just don't need her worrying beforehand. I'm hoping I'll feel awesome ??

How was day 1? I hope not to bad. You are so lucky for only one week!! Next week we will be on the losers bench!

My surgery is on Thursday. I only had to do ten days.

Honestly, Day 1 wasn't bad. Evening I did get a little hungry...but I made myself stay busy with my little one and trying to get stuff done around the house. I did weigh myself today and I'm down 5lbs since yesterday (I know it's probably just all water weight), but still made me feel a little better this morning.

Today is also my birthday, so I'm going to indulge and have a glass of wine tonight.

I had my birthday while on liquid diet too. We went to Rita's so I could get a sugar free Italian ice.

Happy belated birthday!! This week has been so crazy with work and trying to prep for next week. I'm loving the weight loss as well! Hoping it will continue. I'm so shocked that my cravings ended so quickly. There was a birthday party at work today and I was completely fine about not eating. Even the Costco cake which I love, nothing. I'm so thankful! Only a few more days and I'll be in Mexico! ?

Thank you! Today has been a little tough for me. I'm just feeling bleh, like I'm stuck in a funk. I'm assuming it's just a mix of hormones, nerves and lack of food =/

?. I'm super excited right now. But I'm sure Suu/Mon when I'm there I'll be a bundle of nerves.

I know I might sound crazy but I already packed :)

Not crazy. I need to. I have a bunch of things to do tomorrow and a very early flight to catch Sunday morning. My flight leaves at 7:30am, I leave the house around 5:45 am. Sleeping on the flight for sure!!
