I have to be on a 10 day liquid diet and I am only on day 2. I did really great yesterday but today my stomach is making all kinds of niose and I am starving. I am not sure that 8 more days is going to be doable. I am really tired and feel really run down and I have 8 more days of this to go. For those of you that had to fast or do strict liquids what did you do to make it through? ~Mandy

You can do it! It all a mind game! Its tuff but you can. just think of the short pitcher ten days. then you can start looking at the long road ahead! Weight Loss Its a life altering ave for better health.soon you will be sceening the affacts once you are banded and the weight starts to fall off and you loose weight people that havent sceen you for a while will tell you how great you look. But you look great now no matter what. I applade you for your effort and trying. you will also feel so much better.

jqpublic, thanks for the encouraging words, it really means a lot.

I am sooo glad to be here and have my LBT family for support. My husband has been wonderful, but you guys know what I am going through. Today is day 5 and I am doping much better. While my family had dinner I took a bath with some really strong scented bath salts, it covered the smell of the food really well. For the next few days I have a really full schedual and I think that if I stay busy I will be fine. I only have 5 more days to go (not counting today). My mom came to the rescue and found sugarfree popsicles for me and they have been a lifesaver. I also discovered that if you freeze yogurt and then stick it in the blender it kinda taste like ice cream (yum!) My family says they are going to take stock in gatorade because I am living on propel, everytime they see me I have one in hand. I love the melon!!! I found it at Meijers (it said "new flavor"). Again thanks to everyone for the encouragement. ~Mandy
