@@BLERDgirl I actually read that and forgive me I cannot remember who it was from but I have had a spoon full of natural peanut butter and I add a small drizzle of creamed Colorado honey to it. I do like that!

@@VSGAnn2014 No I vary right now some days I don't even eat 800 and some days I eat 1500+ depends on my stomach.

@@Veronica_mm I do like that but it makes my stomach do horrible things if you get what I mean

@@Babbs I'm debating on a cupcake. It has fruit on it so that counts right?? Says the little devil on my shoulder!

@@Mom26 I actually never eat jello so not tired of it. Maybe I should try that but I'm not sure if it will compare with those dang cupcakes!

I'm still doing shakes and then a protein dinner. My throat has been hurting a bit so I may just do shakes tomorrow because of that.

@@Rebeccaabrooks86 Three days is good too. It doesn't take much. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. The best part is not being made to do it for two weeks like pre-op!

@@sprocket You made it?! Today's the last day

@@Amberina Hey that's all you! Congratulations!

My radio station picks the funny ones and reads them on air. Some of them are HILARIOUS and I think are meant to be a joke. I hope you find yours for real!

@@KindaFamiliar I would never! I'm sweet as sugar!

Rarely have I ever done this but after thinking about it I have 0 advice to give.......like I never saw this at all....

Nope! Not even good advice. You'll learn

@@jenn1 Of course you can when its that cute! Congratulations! You look beautiful!! Happy Birthday!!

I'm beginning to think this whole Psychiatric Evaluation is a crock of (poop). It's a way to make money obviously. When I had mine they couldn't recommend surgery and they couldn't say not to. Real informative I know. I feel like I've more than succeeded and I didn't even get a defiant yes. They got a good 500 from my insurance company and I got surgery so... I've seen many eyebrow raising post that make me wonder how in the hell they ever got approved for surgery in the first place. How can someone with a serious eating disorder get cleared for surgery before they even have it under control? I'm not a psychiatrist and I'm not a surgeon BUT even that makes me say DUH! Of course they are going to have problems! Same with the Nutritionist a few appointments aren't going to be enough to teach people especially "older" people how to properly eat. I had 4 mandated appointments before I was cleared. I've been studying the body for 8 years and nutrition for the past 2 and I am still learning everyday. With all that being said people have to take some responsibility for their own health. The Internet is a wonderful thing. If you don't know, you learn!

@@_Kate_ Hang in there! @@KindaFamiliar Don't be jelly!!

@@wannaBthinsoon Yes, much restriction! I had good before but I didn't even get in 2 small chicken wings tonight. I also learned a valuable lesson. If I try to drink and eat I will puke! Big time! I did half a shake instead.

@@wannaBthinsoon Lol! It's only because of me if its good!!

@@KindaFamiliar I have faith in you, you little engine that could!

@ They say they don't want you using them because you can suck air in...blah blah blah. I do fine with them and my suregon said its ok. So I don't care what "they" say. @@KindaFamiliar Well I'm glad we inspired you to be crazy! If it gets bad just remember it's wasn't my fault!!

Whoohoo!! Congratulations!

@@wannaBthinsoon I don't know because I chickened out and drank a shake.I also brought a shake for lunch....maybe tonight.

@@Bean80128 Stay strong! @@bigbit Well you should be on the other side now?! Hope you're recovering well!!!! Keep us updated!!

There will be more. Today I found out my insurance has approved my orthodontic treatments so I will have a palate expander in December. That would cause me to be on liquids for awhile. It will be put in on December 18th so I may not even have to worry about the holidays. Mixed blessing!

Well my 5 days are officially up! I'm going to bed soon. I want to thank everyone who joined in and did this with me. I also want to thank the ones who didn't but stopped in to encourage us that were. It been a "different" kind of 5 days to say the least. It hasn't been too hard but willpower is amazing when you actually use it. We will see what tomorrow brings but as far as the 5 days is concerned we kicked it's butt!! Hopefully this is just the kick in the pants I needed. I made a promise to myself that I would never allow myself to go back to the old me. This surgery was a "gift" and I'm not a Indian giver!! I hope you all found some success with this Be bold and be blessed!
