Started my liquid diet today....

[Heather~ Sweetdreams 10]

I'm not going to lie, this sucks. I've gone my entire life eating what I want.. of course, that is what got me into this mess in the first place! I have started my Vitamins today with my liquids. A couple of Protein Shakes, several cups of broth, some SF Jello, and SF popsicles, and OMG the Water I've consumed! 6 more days of this is not my idea of fun.. BUT I HAVE SUPPORT and I WILL DO THIS! Okay, gotta go, I need a popsicle!

I am in the same boat, one week in, and it does suck, but keep your eye on the prize. It will be worth it. We have all dieted before, we can make it through the first few weeks. The reward at the end of this diet will be the greatest ever received. Good luck,

I start my liquid diet on Monday too and am trying to have nothing but positive thoughts.

Thought I would update... Day 2 and I am retaining these dang fluids. I decided to hop on my scale for my weekly Friday weigh, and put on 4 pounds... 4!!! I'm not happy. I'm kind of hoping that this is a norm. Maybe the Fluid retention is because my body is confused as to why I'm not feeding it solid food! Either way, I am NOT happy at the moment and feel bloated and miserable, and HUNGRY! I talked to my BFF who is doing this with me tonight, and she told me she is feeling the same way, so at least I'm not the only one miserable, and you know what they say about misery loving company!

I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just thought I would fill you in. I knew it wasn't going to be fun, but I did not expect the bloating, and weight gain the first couple of days in.

You might check the label on your broth and make sure it isn't loaded with sodium. I am on day 4 of liquids and made my own broth without salt and I am losing weight okay. But it could just be like you said your body is in freak out mode and doesn't know what to do. Hang in there!

I made my own too. But, I've been label reading to double check everything because I thought the same thing at first. I'm pretty sure my innards are just in shock from being starved! lol
