Getting ready to start my second week of liquids...I thought I was doing badly as its been a VERY hard week. I do believe it was Kelly that said it would get easier after the 4-5 day. Boy she was so right, as I had to go to doc to get a scrip pick-up I had them weigh me...YES down 5lbs!! Yup I'm feeling good about this now that was a big motivator to stick to it!!
I know I have a few newbies out here that have surgery dates about the same time as me...c'mon we CAN do this!!

I've seen lots of people say it gets easier after day three. And you're almost there now! And if you can do a liquid diet for two weeks when you haven't even had surgery, you can do what you need to do after surgery. You're proving to yourself that you can do anything.

We CAN do this! I'm on Day 3 of clear liquids. My doctor has instructed me that I will do three full weeks of clear liquids due to the revision I had. I had the LapBand removed (it had grown into the stomach and liver), the gall bladder removed, and the gastric bypass performed. So, I was surprised for him to give me instructions of THREE WEEKS of CLEAR Liquids but he did say that this time of the process is about healing and making sure I have a healthy pouch. I want the long-term healthy pouch so I'll do the three weeks of clears!

We CAN do this!

Got Ya Mandy...yeah first few days was rough...I would not even cook for the family! I closed the door to kitchen so I could not smell it at all, but now going into my second week I am doing good had coffee with the girlfriends this morning. I kinda cheated a bit I had a Chi tea, but it was made with water and not a latte with steamed milk. But they were all eating goodies and I was not even hungry for those.
I went and bought one those bullet blenders this weekend has been great for protein shakes skim mil**** and shake mix...yummm!! I figure I'm going to need it for the puree stage also.
Honestly I think I might have a harder time going BACK to food!!
