My Liquid 10 days starts tomorrow!!
Apr 30, 2010
Hey all,It's April 30th, 2010. I'm starting my liquid liver shrinking diet tomorrow. I can't believe I have a question. I thought I had asked and learned the answer to every possible question. I'll find the answer...do I mix the protein drink with water or skim milk. The container has both options...I'll ask my support group girls, they'll know.
I'm feeling very at peace with this decision, finally. I've had my goodbye to food in the 'use it as a drug' way and am now about to be reborn. My new pouch already has a name, (corny I know) but it is by the Grace of God that everything is coming together for my surgery and one of my main goals with this surgery is to feel better so I can feel joyful again. So Gracie Joy. My friend V. gave me the idea. My new pouch is like a little baby and what would you feed a little one. You start easy and work up to only healthy nutritious foods. She'll be vunerable at first, ever so fragile and I need to take good care of her. Like any child, she and I'll have our moments but we'll mean the world to each other. I can't believe it's only 11 days away!!
I'll be nesting over the next 10 days. I have the help of my sister and some friends, I'm very blessed to have so many people who love me. I was very fearful up until this week and now I just feel peaceful about all of it. My hubby is saying he'll be supportive, and he is but he is usually good out of the gate and then when it gets old to him, he'll be irritating about it. For the first time it won't be all about him. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt but I'm not going to be upset if he gets pissy about it. This is my time and I'm taking it. My boys are great teenagers...they will help when it's crunch time and they are very nurturing and loving. So my ten days begin tomorrow and I know they'll be tough but I'm ready for them!!! Peace to any who read all of this!!! Lizbeth
