2 Week Liquid Diet

So I started my liquid diet on January 6, 2011 that I have to be on for 2 weeks.  I am on day 4 and so far so good.  Let me break a day down for you.  Let’s see what I had yesterday 01/08/2011:

Breakfast Protein Shake

Cherry Yogurt

Lunch Protein Shake

1/2 can of chicken broth

Motts Apple sauce

Cherry Jell-O

Chocolate vanilla swirl pudding

Dinner Chocolate vanilla swirl pudding

Cream of chicken soup

Cottage cheese (Kroger)

White chocolate raspberry yogurt

This has been a typical day for me for the last 4 days.  I don’t feel like I am starving but I do miss real food.  Last night we dropped the kids off at Mom’s and she was cooking bacon and Oh man did it smell so good I could smell it all the way outside and my mouth just watered I wanted it so bad.  I even said to her can I just lick it LOL…  I have not cheated at this and I want to try very hard not to.  I can say I am very happy that my support person (my husband) Mitch has decided to join me in the 2 week liquid diet so I will not feel alone in this journey.  He has been doing a great job as well.  It is hard because we still have to feed the kids and watch them eat their food but we both know this is what it takes to be to where we need to be for my surgery.  They say the reason for the 2 week liquid diet is to shrink your liver and the fat tissues inside.  This will help the doctor with this procedure.  I did weight myself on Thursday, January 6, 2011 and my weight was 293.7.  I will watch my weight from here on out up to the day of my surgery and keep everyone posted.  My height weight was 300 lbs.  So I did lose some without even trying before the liquid diet started.    So keep watching for more updates and pictures to be coming very soon.
