MCZOO I am so with you....go August Sleevers

I don't know if this will help anyone else and I am not sure how it will be taken because this seems to be a pretty sensitive topic but..... For me: I am on day 7 of my liquid pre op and have to go another three weeks..but it has been pretty easy for me and i think it is because of what I tell myself every day over and over... I constantly tell myself that if I cheat I will die on the table during surgery...I say it over and over and over and it is working because yesterday my Dr told me to have some regular sugar because of my dizziness and I still could only do half a shot of sugar....it took me an hour to drink and I shook through out it... It may sound extreme but it has made this liquid diet a breeze so far...Our minds are funny things and it can be very overwhelming going through the head hunger..but if we override the head hunger with another fear...that is what effects us with the head hunger guys is fear...so if we make a bigger fear like dying on the table our minds will hold onto that priority.... I work with minds so this was a no brainer for me. Find a bigger fear...for me it was dying and leaving my husband before I had the chance to look amazing...for me that is why I am doing the surgery so it is a great motivator for the pre op.....Find your fear...use it...it helps... KJ

Day 6 is done.....it was funny Susan from our Dr emailed me about my dizzy spells and told me to have some real sugar....My mind went into all the things I could drink that could give me sugar....and went for medium instead of my typical extra large decaf instead of caf banana caramel latte but with half the syrup so an instant shot......Brian my husband laughed at me...At this stage of the game I think I am too scared to cheat even when the Dr tells me too.....hahahahahahaha...I suppose that is good but it is amazing what we can do with our minds...Every day I have said over and over to myself if I cheat I will die on the table...I know it may sound severe but I am of the mind set where I cannot cheat...not even a little bit... Our minds are amazing things....

I have heard of it a few times on here........mine will be doing lab work first...I have been told but cannot confirm that it is the drinking liquid along with low carb that shrinks the liver.....

With you day 6 and my nurse told me I could have sugar to level blood and I can't do it......this is my commitment....for me....

Yummmmmm... I dont have a last meal....30 day liquid......had nachos two days before though.....

That is so awesome ! Congrats!!!!

Ok how red deer? How long did you have to wait Hun?

That makes sense Hun.....I just didn't understand at first....all will be good.l..just keep doing what you do darlin.....hugs

ok mine is going to make everyone laugh if you can see the humour in it and I cannot believe I am being this honest.... I was a former abused wife and one of the things used was force feeding....literally...I always laugh now when someone says well it isn't like someone shoved the food down your throat....I am in a better place so now I just answer umm yep they did...lol...for sure not the reason for all the weight gain but still...so for me I am looking so forward to a time when my kids are involved and I have to run into my ex.....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha see the thought makes me giddy.....I have reached the physical success that far supersedes his. Now the weight...I know what an awful goal....but whatever works....*grin*

We get fat because we eat too much! For some of us we have become the masters of our excuses. I have spent years and years coming up with whatever excuse I could possibly come up with for well in truth every aspect of my fat life. No we can't go because I am tired, When in reality it has been because I didn't think I would fit in the chairs. I didn't know if I would be watched, judged, ridiculed. I even used being fat as an excuse to eat more. "Well I am already so fat losing weight will be impossible I might as well enjoy." Heck I even used it as an excuse for my "last meals" before getting ready for surgery The truth is at the end of the day that you and I are fat because we eat too much. We eat more than our bodies require and now the body has gotten so good at storage that when we stop eating for a period of time or we start eating right and doing portion control our bodies start screaming in fear, and so does our minds! Now that I am going to have WLS I read so much about how things are going to change once the weight is gone. Single people believe it is their cure for the single blues. Tired people believe it is the cure for the fatigue and after surgery they will become exercise junkies. Others think that it will cure everything wrong in their worlds and for some of it everyone is right. But not all of it. Not even half of what is wrong with us will be cured with the weight loss! I have decided it is time to stop lying to myself and others. It is time to face the hardest part of this weight loss journey! Our emotions! If we do not deal with those pesky get in the way little things then failure is not only eminent but it is also a guarantee. The only way our surgery's are going to work for a lifetime is if at the same time we are adding our protein and adding walking we deal with what got us here in the first place.... We are fat because we eat too much. We eat too much because we are hiding, fighting, struggling, beating up, sabotaging, struggling,and not knowing how to deal with our emotions. Everyone has emotional issues. Even skinny people. Everyone deals with their emotional baggage differently. The pains, struggles and hurts. If you are overweight you deal with your emotions with food. Say what you want, claim it isn't so but sooner or later you are going to need to look in the mirror and get honest. Weight loss is more than eating right. It is no longer eating our emotions... So do yourself a favour today... write out everything that effects you emotionally....everything.....because that is what you need to work on while losing this weight... We are all in this together....and together we need to help each other get past the emotional side too! good luck on your weight loss!!!! Kjarlune

ok giv....how did you eat solids accidently without noticing???? You will be good just keep doing liquids...but i just gotta know...how does one eat solids and not notice?

Hey Joyce I took 5 days off so I could adjust to the drinking on day 5 and doing good.....My energy is starting to come back up...I am a fan of fat sick and nearly dead and so I did what they suggest for a juice cleanse I slept a lot of the first three days so I could let my body just heal....Brian my husband worries too much, but I am doing my best to get my protein in and am a fan of as natural as I can... that is really my only struggle...I have done so much research so much learning and all the chemicals in the protein drinks are killing me...lol....but it is a means to an end...hugs... kj
