Seriously. I am so ready to eat everything in in sight. All of it. If Taco Bell has a dollar menu, my kids won’t be going to college anytime soon. TACO BELL, ya’ll- THAT’S how hungry I am.

I haven’t slept well in almost a week. I toss and turn all night long. I don’t know why— I’m active during the day, I’m not napping or anything...why can’t I fall asleep and STAY asleep?

My husband is wary, my dog is avoiding me and my kids are downright terrified. This seven day ...

I guess that’s a deceptive title— I’m not halfway. I’m more like 4/7ths of the way. But keeping within my habit of rounding up with finances and food, I’m gonna stick with it.

So...Day Four.

No problems sticking to things today, though I screwed up and forgot my mid-afternoon shake. I made up for it by doubling my evening shake and now I feel like a pregnant whale. Seriously- I’m bloated and I feel gross and the gallons of water I’ve been drinking aren’t helping the ...

That’s right! As I type this, I’m munching on sugar snap peas. It’s seems a better compromise than kicking the dog or killing my husband.

I’m feral. I’m angry. I’m resentful, jealous and aggravated. I want to eat my shoe. This liquid diet can take a hike.

Yet, I persevere. Haven’t cheated at all (raw veggies are approved), but I’ve come close. My big issue today is that I FORGOT I’m on this diet. I came downstairs this morning and started to make toast and my son said, ...

Anyhoo...Today is Day Two.

I managed my four shakes again, and didn't have to supplement with my cheaters cup of chicken broth. I ate celery. I ate mushrooms. I added a bit of water to my soy milk smoothie prior to blending. And in the end, I made it through the day. ...

I love celery. Well, maybe 'love' is a strong word for it, but it's usually my first choice on a veggie platter. Thing is, I had a feeling that I'm going to be eating more celery that i can handle.

Today is my first pre-op day. Seven days of nothing but protein shakes and raw veggies ONLY IF REALLY NEEDED. I'm going to go crazy, y'all. Downright insane.

I chose to use the Naturade Total Soy Meal Replacement shakes in chocolate. To be completely honest, I LOVE IT. ...
