I'm so hungry I could eat a leg off my dog!

I swear by protein to take away the munchies/hinger. I kind of like the mango Isopure. It's not cheap, but did the trick the whole time I was on clears. It's best very cold with ice. I sipped it and then, chewed gum afterwards to take away the "film" it left in my mouth. Lisa brought me Mrs. Grass soup mix and that was much tastier, I thought, than the boxes I found at Trader Joes. (Although, I only tried a couple.) I ended up having to salt everything I bought that was low sodium, go figure. When I transitioned to full liquids, it was so satisfying that I kept feeling like I was cheating. . . BUT I wasn't!  I just had the best bowl of  "Cashew GInger Carrot" soup that I found at Valley Natural Foods. I plopped a dollop of plain yogourt in it, added a sprig of parsley and it was colorful, delicious, and filling. (Why couldn't I appreciate this kind of eating pre WLS? Doesn't matter. I just couldn't.) I know I would DIE with less than 600 cals on any day of the week.    Is your diet now restricted calorie-wise? (You don't have to answer this.) Trust the history of those that have gone before you, reeeelax, and begin dreaming in the day-time about your hopes and goals which will be manifested sooner than later. Sooooo happy for you, Linda A, Lisajoy, and everyone else awaiting their GIFT!!!!!!! Hugs, Cindy

Thanks for all the wise words Cindy! 

Naomi, need I point out that your dog's leg would NOT qualify as a clear liquid???  (  )   You'll be fine - and soon, you'll be a BIG LOSER!!!    And THAT, my dear, is worth EVERY MOMENT of the LD!!!  Not to mention your doggie's leg...
