10 Days To Go!

[Guest guest]

Well, I'm on my liquid diet now for the 5th day and I must say it's

not going too bad. I did treat myself to popcorn at the movies on

Friday night tho, which I had planned. Other than that, my diet has

consisted of Atkins protein shakes (3 per day), applesauce, cottage

cheese, yogurt, a variety of cream soups, sf pudding, sf jello and

crystal light drinks. Yesterday I wanted a salad so bad. We went

shopping after church and I drank my Atkins shake on the way. I got

so empty and feeling like my sugar dropped, I had to have something,

so I picked up a frostie at 's. My family was with me and my

youngest step-daughter wanted a burger, but her dad told her no

because it wouldn't be fair to mom, so they all had a frostie also. I

am so thankful because my whole family is being so supportive. I have

10 days left on this diet, then my big day!

I am just wondering how many others of you had to do such a stringent

diet prior to your surgery and did any of you sidetrack at all? I

feel that one decent meal couldn't hurt still at this point, but I

also don't want to ruin this mission. I really don't feel hungry, I

am quite satisfied with the selections I have. I also do feel some of

the weight starting to come off and by the scale, I have lost a few

pounds. Sorry for such a long post, just needing some feedback and

encouragement.

Thanks for listening,
