Okay, so I was doing fine earlier today, when I posted my ? about how much liquids was too much. But my husband made his dinner, and it smelled so awesome!! I made my soup strained beef w/vegetables and I soooooo wanted to add the vegetables and meat to my cup BUT I DIDN'T. PLEASE, PLEASE say a prayer that I can remain strong and on course with this liquid diet, I'm only on day THREE. And, I'm afraid I'm going to sabotage myself, I am really, really struggling right now. Thanks for listening (reading), Erika

I will pray for you for strength...BUT you won't sabotage this. It is just too important to do this right. Take some deep breaths, find a quiet place and breathe I love the in through the nose and out through the nose...it really will help. You are fine! smiles

It will get easier! Just remember it hard to stop eating cold turkey! I have you in my prayers! Hang in there.

Erika, I feel the same thoughts as you. I just had surgery and I'm on the full liquid diet right now and will be for another 11 days. My husband just made dinner for himself and my son. It smells so gooood!! I'm not hungry at all but, its just a thought in my head how great that must taste.. I have decided to just leave the room while they eat. I think that this will be better! Also I know that I have made this life change and it will be hard in the beginning but, I think with time this will get easier. I always have to keep in perspective why did I have this surgery! Stay strong!! YOU can get through this. There are good things to come on the loser's side. Wishing you the best.

God Bless, Angela

Lisajoy, Sandie, Missy and Angela, Thank you for your responses, and I am feeling alittle better and I know I just need to take it one day at a time or maybe a minute at a time depends on the day. Well, I need to go and make my last NSA CIB for the day. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Erika P.S. Sandie your looking wonderful in your avatar.

Erika, The first few days were the most difficult to me because after a while the cravings mellowed out and I sort of got used to the liquids (as much as the food on the TV looked good) I also kept in mind the end result of the liquid diet is surgery and the end result of surgery is a healthier you. I believe you can do it and will say a prayer that God grant you the will power to make it through. P.S. SF popsicles rock they give you something to chew and a burst of flavor

Hey Erika- Hope today is better for you. I will say a prayer that the rest of the time will be a bit easier. You are not the only one who has struggled on the liquid diet, so know you are normal. You'll get through this....you are almost there!

YOU CAN DO THIS !!! And it isn't that you are "only on day THREE" -- it should be "YEAH, ONLY SEVEN MORE DAYS UNTIL I'M A LOSER!!" You also do not have to limit yourself to any of your liquids!!! If you want another SF CIB, have one!! And remember -- tomorrow will be another day!!! Keep busy -- XXOO
