Can I do it? These liver shakes sound gross....

[VancouverGirl72 8]

May 21 I will start, what I'm calling, the "liver shakes". My surgery is June 11. That's 22 days of 3 shakes a day, plus 250 additional calories from low glycemic index vegetables...omg. Math and vegetables in the same sentence. What am I doing?? My fridge is completely stocked with vegetables. I'm ready. I know that the first week is hard, and will power through. But with 20 some years of crappy eating habits in my arsenal, what if it's just too hard and I cave. I don't want to believe that I will.

I hate vegetables. I may never want to see arugula again

I hate being fat more. Maybe those hated vegetables will be my liberators in the end.

I might be excited. But don't tell anyone.

That's a really vicious pre-op diet!! I can't comment from personal exoerience as I didn't have to do any pre-op diet at all but I just wanted to say, whatever hoops your doctor makes you jump through, it will be worth it in the end!

After day three you stop wanting to steal candy from babies or ponder robbing the quicky mart

That does not sound fun at all. I am doing Breakfast and lunch shakes to get myself adapted to them and just a light dinner. Do the best you can.
