7 day until surgery!

I have been trying to be so good on my liquid diet.  I have been surrounded by food this past week.  

I have cooked for my family, gone to dinner parties, had lunch catered in to my office, and gone to lunch.  I have done all of this with a smile (if if it wasn't real) and shake.   I have tried so hard not to cheat, but I did once, I ate 3 bites of an eggroll.   

I am staying on my 3 to 4 shakes a day ( and they are getting gross). And drinking water and more water....  

I am allowed sf jello, but I hate jello.  Gee I sound whinny today.  

anyway, another day down and 1 day closer. 

Great job on staying strong!!! I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I'm already nervous. I was going to make snacks for a training tomorrow night, but I didn't dare.  I would have had to go to the store for one indregient since I have all dry products still. ( I cleaned out pantry and fridge/ freezer yesterday ).  I keep telling myself I can do this.... I'm proud of you

Good luck to you!   The shakes are filling.  Keep your water close and drink lots of it.    Gets easier after day 4-5.  

Good job!  My surgeon does not require a pre-surgery liquid type diet, but he does want us to lose weight before hand.  I plan to do protein shakes starting Wednesday until my surgery on the 27th.  Keep up the good work.  It will be worth it.  👍

Are you required to drink a certain shake or can you try any? If you can have any, you might want to mix it up with some fruit (I like Wild Grape, Twisted Cherry and Roadside Lemonade from Syntrax) in addition to the normal chocolate/vanilla/peanut butter flavors that abound.

Also, can you mix in any base? I prefer a sweet chocolate shake to be made in black coffee so it is more like a latte and less sweet...sugar was not my thing/is not my thing, so sweet shakes got old fast for me. 

Remember...you are only cheating on yourself. Love and care about yourself enough to be rigid, but don't beat yourself up on an eggroll. 

Hating Jello? I don't even understand those two words together. I love, love, love it and have enjoyed it my entire life. What about adding some SF Jello powder to a shake to mix up the flavor a bit? 

22 days on a pre-op liquid diet and then 8 days post-op and did 9 days of my pre-op on a business trip to SF filled with AMAZING restaurants and a stream of food, so I have BTDT. Hopefully this week it will not be tough. By day 3 I was 'in the zone' on the liquid diet.

Good luck to you!

A few more days down--how are you feeling?
