I’m so excited to start my chapter

COUNT DOWN 64 DAYS

Okay so weird I walk every single day and I just feel like I'm not even losing one little pound but I just I just started my liquid diet just been two days but I still have this week and next week but it's not all liquids I'm still able to include a protein as well

Guys I am on day 3 of liquid diet and I really don't want to do anything because I don't wanna be around food or by the kitchen. And I just feel like how am I gonna survive 2 weeks of this. Any advice?

During the day it's ok because no one is here the hard part is when they come home, they eating pizza, or wings, so I just go to my room until they are done then I'll drink my broth or jello or something. Hang in there.

Honey - it gets easier; you’re almost through the difficult bit! Keep bury. Have a drink of water when those phantom hunger pangs hit you. Take yourself out for a walk if you can. Keep telling yourself you got this because it’s only 2 weeks. I’ve just finished my liquid diet and I have my surgery today (it’s almost 2am here). Stay with it and stay strong with everything you have. It’s two weeks out of the rest of your life - you are on the road to living the life you have always imagined. you are a bright star ? x

I felt (feel) the same way. I'm lucky in that I only have 8 days of liquid before surgery (I'm scheduled for this Friday). I've found a few things helpful in getting through this liquid diet:

• Stay busy with non-food things. I went to work, cleaned our bathrooms, did outside yard work, went shopping / window browsing...
• Make a schedule of your liquids for the day. Like 8am: coffee with protein shake, 9am flavored water, 10am sugar free jell-o, 11am broth, etc.... It helps me to have "something" to look forward to and ensure I am drinking enough.
• If you have a family that you typically cook for, ask for help from someone else to do the cooking, or have easy foods. My kids ate some easy convenience food this week; the less time I am in the kitchen, the better.
• Constantly sip on something. Chew gum if you can. I have found these to be good distractions at times.

A lot of people say this is the hardest part of this whole thing. Not sure if that's true, but literally trying to avoid the kitchen and food as much as possible has helped me. I know that is not always possible for everyone, but if it is, I'd say to just avoid and know that this is NOT forever! Good luck

Yes, I agree!! My husband is still eating all the same stuff, bringing McDonalds in the house, candy for himself. I wish he had a little more consideration...

Cat lady - did you say you too are having a bypass?

Yes, I get the statements I know you starving aren't you hungry. I'm determined to make it through, this is my 3rd day of liquid I am still allowed to eat 3 to 4 ounces of protein, but that's my last results because next week it's all liquids no meat what so ever
