Here it is, day one of the liquid diet and i already have that evil twin in my head saying its ok to cheat just once! I had asked for diet pills to help with the hunger while i am on liquids only but my Dr. does not give them. Anyone have advice on how to keep the hunger from driving us crazy?:smile:

My surgery is april 14 and i must drop some weight and change the way i feel about food.

For everyone who is doing having there surgry in April I will keep you in my prayers and I hope things work out for you all. Keep up the Faith and you will all do good and remeber you are not alone in this. Anytime you have a problem, Just ask and someone on here might be able to help you with it..Take care everyone!!

Kristy,

Thank you so much for the prayers!! I am a firm believer in prayer and I feel that one can never have too many said for them. I will be here anytime you want to talk about Lousisiana.

I really enjoyed living there. I am originally from California and I came to Louisiana by way of Memphis, Tennessee. I have lived a few places due to my job. When Katrina hit, my office was destroyed and my job asked if there would be anyone that would be interested in a transfer. Well, since I am not a native, I said that I would like to move. So here I am in El Paso. I love it here. I am a "bloom where you are planted" kind of person and I have learned to like my new home. The only thing is that I cant get a shirmp po' boy anywhere!! ROFL :biggrin2:

Honestly, I am so ready to give all of that up and to move on to the next phase of my life with somthing that will be so much better for me.

WE can do it!!!

Have a blessed day,

Nancy :huh2:

Thanks! I will keep everyone posted. getting hungry today, so uping the protein intake, hope it helps!

According to my paper that I got from My dr is to drink slim fast, Advantage, or Edge 3 times a day. Yes you can drink crystal light. He told me that I can drink anything that is CLEAR..Chicken broth or beef broth...I just buy the Soup in the can and strain it and let my neice eat the noodles.But every Dr is different. My surgry is april 14 and I only have 12 days to be on the diet before surgry..I hope this helps some people..

I can do the chicken or beef broth, I was kinda surprised that you can't just do the "Soup at Hand" and get like Chicken & Stars, because there really isn't anything there.

Well, this the end of day 2 on liquids. It's really not bad at all. I have to have at least 100mg protein each day and 800-1000 calories. Suprisingly, I haven't been as hungry as I was eating "good for you" foods.
