we i started my full liquids today. i made me a nice fat free Protein shake this morning. i put the Protein powder in a blender and added 8 oz of fat free milk to it, and 2 cubes of ice. and man was it so good. i feel full now just after 4 oz. im guessing the thickness of it made me full. im not sure what im going to try next. but i know it want be any jell-o. im so tried of jell-o. i will check in later what i have.

i also got to sleep in my bed last night for the first time. and it was some nice rest. i did flip flop from side to side but i got better rest then the recliner.

I felt the same way yesterday when I started my full liquid diet - which I have to be on until they call me on Sept 15. Who would think I would get so exicited to eat 1/4 cup cream of wheat or a sugar free chocolate pudding cup. I had my cream of wheat for Breakfast this morning and a sugar free popsicle a couple of hours afterwards.

My program is pretty strict - no smoking of any kind, no alcohol, no straws, no gum, using my Spirometer etc. I have been reading some of the posts this morning about some people wanting to smoke pot, cigarettes, drink alcohol, eat solids too early, etc. I think every program's guidelines are different and as we are all adults, it is up to each of us to decide what we are going to follow. I plan to follow my program's guidelines and food directions they way they were given go me. I have to be accountable to only myself as far as what I decide to do and also then how successful I am. I don't think they require psychological counseling and all the classes just to be a pain to us - overeating is an addictive behavior and if I get my overeating under control, I don't want to transfer that addictive behavior to alcohol or drugs. Why would be have surgery to get healthier to then only have other unhealthy behaviors? Just my opinion - not meant to offend anyone.
