Starting Day 3 of the Liquid diet
Aug 26, 2011
Well I am starting on the third day of the Liquid diet. Two things I have found. My granddaughter and I would share our food and it was really hard feeding her eggs and toast and not wanting to take my bites too! Number 2 it's really tough sitting with people who are eating when you are on a Liquid diet before the surgery. I am hoping since everyone says they are not hungry that after the surgery being on the liquids won't be as hard sitting with people who are eating. It's not that I don't like the liquids I just really like food. I have gotten some sugar free popcicles for the crunching, some sugar free jello for the chewing and V8 for the fulfillment. So I think I will be able to do this with not to much trouble. The only problem I have right now is my stomach growling until it gets used to not having food in it. I want to be down to 360 by the time surgery on Tuesday so I will have an even number to start but I will take anything at this point I am just ready to be on the losing team!!!!! Wow never thought I would want to be a loser but at this point it will be awesome to be a loser. Everyone has been so supportive. I have had a couple of people who say well if you can do the liquid diet now why don't you just do it? Well as most of you reading this know that is a skinny person talking and they don't understand how many different diets you have tried and they were successful for a while but you would always go back to the food. This is suppose to be a tool in a lifestyle change those diets have never worked that way. This is going to give me the ability to put in to practice the food pyramids, and the serving sizes that are suppose to be utilized to maintain a healthy life style always before I started out starving myself and then my body would say ok you have lost weight its ok to eat just this once and then it starts over you eat again and tell yourself you'll start tomorrow but then it happens again and again and the next thing you know you have gained all your lost weight plus more. This tool is going to help me eat slower, eat the proper serving sizes and stay away from the sugars, fats and Carbohydrates that make me fat. i already do water aerobics so once I get some of this weight off I will be seeing the personal trainers at work and get a cardio and weight lifting program started in order to help with my weight loss. On Monday I am going to have my husband measure me and take a before picture ( they already have one on file with the doctor but I want one for myself. I am going to try to be good about taking a picture each month on the 29th and taking my measurements so I can see my progress I will try to post as I get them but even if I just keep it in my Franklin Planner then I can always update at a later date. Well off to read other stories to inspire me.
