Let the journey begin...

I start the liquid diet tomorrow and extremely nervous about this part of my journey. Just ate my "last supper" steak and cheese with onion rings...yum! Now I feel miserable! Not guilty...full! Lol kinda looking forward to not having this particular feeling anymore.

I know! On my journey I have found the Atkins bars are heaven! I will miss them. Surgery is Friday and I have annex my last meals.

I'm there too. Seven days on pre-op diet. I'm starting to get grumpy and loath Protein Shakes.< /p>

The 26th can not get here fast enough. Wish I could go to bed tonight and wake up on the 26th!

I'm on a 2 week Optifast diet. Tried the chocolate shake, Peanut Butter and chocolate Protein bar and Tomato Soup. Also allowed sugar free Popsicles and sf Jello. Ate a Popsicle and yuck lol. Of course I don't like diet drinks either. Nothing tasted like a cheeseburger today...so disappointed! ????

Water yes. Eating often and on a schedule so to speak, no...woke up with a horrible headache this morning so did not have my first shake until like 230. Had 2 at that time and tried to space out the rest. I guess I should eat the sf Popsicles and Jello in between. Did resort to a small salad for dinner. Helped a bit but not supposed to eat anything but the Optifast.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better if I have a somewhat normal day (headache free).

Today I am on day 6 of Optifast, I cheated yesterday. Ate a salad and had a Soup, doesn't sound bad right? Well, I too am only allowed 5 shakes a day, sf Jello and lots of Water. Nothing else! I feel guilty but I have to move on and not do it again. Easier said that done but we can do this.

I think lastmeals are important. You wont ever get to eat like that again...ever. Im 5 months out and although happy I can enjoy meals out, I am also sad I didnt do any last meals. Do your self a favir. Eat a big ol sandwich. You will never again be able to eat that amount of bread and you have to deconstruct everything. Plus, bread is gross when you have to break it down to applesauce consistency. So enjoy before your journey begins
