On day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet and I have to say ...it doesn't get easier. Damn Halloween candy! I'm being good so far but I don't want to.

Is anyone else in the liquids phase? I'm having surgery Nov 9th...any band buddies?? I need support! It's hard, I'm making dinner for my family and they are eating around me and I feel so weak.

Hey I hear ya sister!!! *laughs*...my surgery isen't until the 18th...and I've been having a hard time pulling it together!!...It's hard when you have a family to cook for. I do as well!...I guess there is no time like the present to start them on a healthier path as well!!!

I think it's hard because most of this over eating crap is mental anyway right?? Well, then we read how some people only have 1 week of liquids and some only have 3 days....then we start to think..I can probably eat this, no big deal. I think I try to tell myself if I eat just this once it will be ok. I've already lost 7lbs..

Damn it's hard!

:scared2::cursing::thumbup::cursing:

it is hard when you have to prepare food for your family and watch them eat.... I think it should be against the law to have to prepare for them when you are doing a liquid diet or fasting....

I'm on day 2 of my 12 day liquid diet. Litterly starting it as it is midnight right now. I was lucky not to have to deal with the Halloween candy -- I didn't buy any and I dont' have kids! I'm being good so far as well, but I do have temptations since I work night shift at a hosptial and theres a cafeteria that people get food from and I always smell it and I'm about to go nuts!

I'm lucky enough to have a husband who pretty much cooks, so he can cook for himself.

Why don't you keep in touch with me, let me know how you're doing. .I'm having surgery November 13th, and I'm really hoping I can get through this.

Just remember you can do it!:scared2:

Hey! I'm on a 7 day liquid diet, and my surgery is on 11/6. Are you getting in a enough Protein? I honestly haven't been hungry since being on the liquids. I've definitely WANTED food that my boyfriend has been making for dinner, but that's because I know that his food tastes delicious and I'm stuck sucking down another chocolate shake for dinner.

I'm sorry you have to cook. That's cruel and unusual punishment! I almost cried in the Trader Joe's yesterday b/c I was frustrated with their Soup selection and I had to walk past the 4 samples carts and say 'no thank you'. I am very impressed that you're cooking dinner and sticking to your liquids! Hang in there!

want and need were two different things really defined for me. I wasn't hungry. I was having Isopure shakes so I got my protein If I just wanted something for the heck of it. I had SF Jello or a popsicle. I drank a lot of hot herbal tea also.

How did your surgery go?
