trestumpf 8 Posted May 7, 2013 You just told my story.......I start my liquid diet today and I am very nervous. My job leaves me by myself a lot and I am a bored, nervous, and depressed eater. I have packed my luchbox and have decied to leave all cash and debit cards at home so I am not tempted to buy anything today. Being addicted to food has made me miserable and I hate that I feel like I have no control. I always have the thought of just one more, or I'll stop tomorrow. This is it, im taking my life back!!!! Good luck and hope to talk soon. 1 Gizenhoffer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cat whisperer 127 Posted May 7, 2013 This is day 8 for me on the pre-op diet... and I want to reinforce to you that it WILL get easier. If I can do it, anyone can. I will not lie - the first 5-6 days were some of the hardest days I've ever had... but the cravings do reduce. Just make sure you drink enough Water (i have herbal tea a couple of times a day when I don't feel like plain water) as I can tell that I feel very tired if I haven't had enough liquids. It is so helpful to come and read (or post) on this site when you are feeling like you can't do it - helped me several times. Hang in there, you'll do great 3 Mandi1441, Theuglytruth and donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trestumpf 8 Posted May 8, 2013 Day 2 and I have my a growling stomach. Yesterday wasn't too bad but this morning stinks!!!! I am allowed to have a protine dinner and that seemed to make it worse. coffee will be my filler this morning I hope. Good luck to all and WE CAN TO THIS!!!!! 2 Mandi1441 and Theuglytruth reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandi1441 23 Posted May 8, 2013 I start my liquid diet on the 10th and I have my surgery on the 24 I also start liquid diet on the 10th and surgery on the 24th. I have mixed feelings about the liquid diet. I want so bad to get it started because I know it is getting me closer to the date, but I'm afraid I am going to be a horror to be around. I have been warning everyone that anything I do or say during that time is not me. lol Good luck to you. I hope to stay in touch during our journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
