Week #4 All Liquids

Sep 11, 2014

I am currently on week #4 of my all liquid diet.  First of all I can't believe that I have actually made it 24 days with no food.  I had several food funerals because I just knew it was going to be the worst thing ever..lol

I was given Optifast for my diet plan.  They had options of Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry for the shakes and Tomato & Chicken for the soup.  I lost my sense of smell over a year ago and things do not taste the same as they used to, so I have only been able to drink the Vanilla shakes (which aren't bad).....Well Vanilla Shakes and Water.  My first week on the liquids I had to travel with work.  I next day aired my shakes and stuck with it.  Now my last week before surgery I'm traveling again for work and have done the same.  Of course traveling with co-workers they are always going out to the really nice restaurants, but I've only participated with my shakes.  Everyone keeps saying "I'm sorry you can't eat" I reply with "don't be sorry for me, I'm very happy with my decision"  They look at me funny, but this is my choice and I'm 100% in this!!  Four weeks of all liquids have had it's ups and downs, but I have to say there have only been 2 days that were truly bad days, but I didn't cheat not once, so I guess overall they were really good days 

My surgery day is Monday 9/15/14.  I'm not nervous yet, but I'm sure it will come.  I just can't believe that MY DAY is almost here.  

I'm on a lunch break now and while everyone is eating around me, I'm just drinking my shake.  So I thought I'd post on OH while I had a moment (it's been almost a month since my last post).  I leave tonight to come back home from my work trip.   I'm praying for safe travels...I'm super excited to see my daughter. I've missed her this week.

I hope everyone has had a great week so far and for anyone with a upcoming surgery.....Good Luck!!

Let's do this!!
