Liquid Pre-Op diet almost here!

Sep 16, 2014

So on Monday September 22, I start my 2 week liquid pre-op diet. I'm nervous about this because I have 2 teenagers (ages 15 and 17) and it's close to impossible to not have someone snacking or making food at almost any moment. I have tried getting them to eat healthier, and my 15 year old is for the most part on board, but she still likes cakes and junk every so often. My son is very resistant to making any kind of change and it's not his fault. I raised them with my bad eating habits and I can't expect that at 17 years old, he's going to want to suddenly change that. I'm just worried that I'll be miserable trying to have only shakes and water for this 2 weeks while watching my kids eat tacos and enchiladas. Yes, I live in New Mexico where Mexican food is our lives! I'm so worried that while frying up some sopapillas I'll become weak and pinch a piece off of one!  I'm going to try my damnedest not to. I've spoken with my husband as well as my kids and practically begged for their support through this time. My husband is awesome about it but he's not here all the time because he works a lot. I have a feeling I'll be on OH quite a bit in the weeks and probably months to come!
