Day two going good.

So today is day two of the pre-op liquid diet. Yesterday my husband made dinner while I made my broth. It wasn't too bad. Tonight, I had to make dinner as he decided to get a deer today and is not home. Dinner is bacon and frenchtoast and of course my house smells marvelous. A few people from this forum came to mind... I do not know their names but I know that what they said has stuck with me... The first one as a woman who responded to another post and she said " you are stronger than your cravings" I said that to myself over and over again as I a frying up the bacon. The next guy that came to my mind is a chef. How in the world can that man be around the fragrances of a kitchen day in and day out. If he can do it, I certainly can walk away from bacon. So as my kids ate their beautiful meal... I dined on broth and Sf jello and my protein drink. I am actually a bit full... Strange. So the dreaded day 3 is tomorrow. Everyday I make it without cheating is another step towards progress. I am doing ok. I will be ok. I am a hell of a lot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for. So here is to the rest of our lives. Lift those protein drinks high and cheers to you all!!!

Best of luck to you. You certainly sound like you have an awesome attitude. It will all be worth it 6 months from now :-)

I found that it got easier after day t3. The cravings for the carbs disapated until after my surgery. You got this. Godspeed on your journey.

Hey Amy! Day one is coming to an end for me. I don't know how you managed to cook food and not eat it. Pure will I guess! I also had my protein drink, jello, and broth. Its so worth it isn't it! Especially when I focus on the final outcome.

We can make it through this cheat free. Although I must admit I have not been able to watch TV because of all the food commercials. Killing me.

Other then that all is well. Off to bed to avoid the hunger pangs!

I think this entire journey is all about attitude. You have to believe that you can do it. I want to be rocking my bathing suit come summer and I so. Of want anything to mess that up. My family will be making huge sacrifices so that I can be healthy and I do not want to disappoint them. I have to believe I will be successful or why m I doing this in the first place. It is mostly mind over matter and my mind wants this just as bad as my body does. There will be struggles but there will triumph and that is that I am looking forward too.
