Countdown to Surgery on Tues Apr 24th

lost_secret · April 20, 2007

Wow, so many mixed emotions, I was fine the last 2 days I had my filter put in and started my Liquid Protein diet. Then last night and today I have thought food, wow can I do this, what a change, will I be hungry after, will I ever eat real food again. ( like I am losing my best friend who listens to all my problems) But then I log on to here and I read such powerful positive information and comments and I am excited to be finally making this change in my life , to keep my life and actually live my life. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for sharing the good and the bad. It is wonderful.

Thanks

Hey lost_secret! Nice to have you join us here at LBT. The liquid diet isn't easy but well worth it. You will make it! Just keep reminding yourself of everything you are gaining by giving up food for a short time. Yes, you will eat real food again but you may be surpried at how lttle it appeals to you. Food was my answer to everything. When I was lonely, I ate; when I was sad, I ate; when I was depressed, I ate and so on. It's definitely a change but keep your eye on the final result. Best of luck to you! As soon as you feel up to it after surgery, let us know how you are doing.
