1st day of liquid

Today is the day that I start my liquid intake. So far so good lol, I haven't been up that long so it had better be good. Gotta get my water to, meeting my daughter at a farmers' market. Thinking of putting a clothes pin on my nose only I don't have one had wanted to block the wonderful scents. It's a lovely day to be outdoor if only it wasn't so cool.

I'm going to my doctor today and will be starting my liquid diet tomorrow!!  Good luck to you....I'm nervous but super excited too!

You can do it.  Just think "NOTHING TASTE AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS"  I love that saying.  Someoneon here posted it. 

I start my liquids on Thursday and am very nervous about it.

 

I also start my liquids on Thursday and have been somewhat apprehensive about it.  Good idea to keep busy and be outside.  Sorry it's cool where you are, it's going to be close to 80 degrees today in northeast FL.  We don't have spring down here - just a couple of weeks when you don't need the heater or the air conditioner, and that's it.  Would love to have some more cool weather but we're done until next November!  Enjoy your day!

That was the fastest trip to the market ever. Got what I needed and left. Didn't have time to smell anything good and nothing trigger my hunger. Its time for another drink. So far the 1st day isn't so bad. If I can do this so can you. I heard the first 3 days are tough lets show we are tougher than that. I will be here if you need support. Success is ours for taking. Thanks for your encouragement.

I am on day 5 of a two week run - my surgery is on April 12th.  Yes, that is right - I have managed to stick with the liquid/optifast diet over the whole Easter weekend.  I have found that having something I'm aloud to have whenever I am feeling munchy/hungry always seems to stop the hunger.  I haven't found myself starving but the odd time the craving or the munchy feeling gets a little annoying but I have some water, jello, broth and it generally takes the bothersome feeling away.  I know I am not "hungry" as much as that munchy nagging feeling that would usually have me grabbing something.  I have been a bit of a roller coaster of feelings - one minute almost hyper, the next minute exhausted, the next minute teary and sad - but generally pretty average and dealing reasonably.  Had to work today so that added a different angle but I did make it through the work day.   I'm a little amazed at the number of times I start to say or think - I'm gonna go grab ___ and then realize "no I'm not" and also realize that I'm not really hungry, I am just so used to being full so much of the time and being able to eat whatever whenever I want, it is more habit than need.  (right now I feel that way anyway - later when I smell hubby and children's supper cooking I may feel different he he he)  I want this so bad, I know I can do it - I know there is the occasional time I find myself feeling a little sorry for myself but I know that it is time and this needs to happen so I can start a new great part of my life. 

If I can be of any help or encouragement, please feel free to drop me a line.  This is a whole new world.  5 days down - 9 to go.  I wish you all much satisfaction and luck.

I started my one week liquid diet today too! I have done great so far. I have had a few protein shakes and some watered down juice. I just made jello and I have broth and sf Popsicles for later this evening. I haven't really been too hungry. But I have had something about every 2 hours all day. Tonight is when I fear the munches the most!

I made it!! 1 day down. I miss not chewing but that will pass. I forgot to get popsicles will pick them on my next trip. Thanks for you replies. Here to us losing!!!!
