Half way through liquid diet

Nov 06, 2010

Today has been really hard - I went to the movies with my son - he had some popcorn and it smelled wonderful - I'm thinking "just one, just one"  However - I know that if I have "just one" it quickly becomes just one more and then some of that...  Instead Since I still acan I had a diet soda.  Not the best choice, but at least it was safe. 

Also instead of our usual going out for dinner - the three of us went bowling - it was fun.  I think that this will be very important for me to find things to do with my family that do not involve food.  They really don't miss going out for dinner, I think I have always been the one to suggest it.  They have been happily fixing things for themselves at home.  I've been going for walks at dinner time because it's just too hard right now on this liquid phase.

After the surgery, I'll be able to have tomato soup, cottage cheese and well a little more variety so I won't feel quite so nuts.

Also - I have not been able to drink the optifast as recommended - I have only been able to have one the last few days - it's getting harder all the time.  It's just so gross. I hate that all I'm eating is processed powders and artificial jello.  My only saving thing right now is camomille tea. 

Only 11 more days... I am going to make it but it is going to be tough.

BTW - I have lost 16lbs in the last two weeks.
