Let the liquids begin...

Aug 19, 2014

So yesterday was a day full of appointments.  I had my pre-op blood work, EKG, and standard paperwork at the hospital.  After that, I went to my doctor's office for the liquid diet class.  I got 2 weeks worth of Optifast and I have officially started liquids.  Right now I feel ok; however Sunday night I had a little breakdown with the thought of not being able to eat anything for 4 weeks.  #fatgirlproblems  LOL, but I got over it.

I'll be doing mostly shakes (4 a day) and 1 soup.  The shakes aren't bad, pretty good actually....I had the soup (such as it is) tonight.  Not a fan, but I can handle this for 4 weeks, right?  I've been reading a lot of blogs on here for awhile and I never seem see anyone that has to do 4 week liquid diets.  Most people seem to only have to do liquids 1-2 days before or at the most 2 weeks pre-surgery.  I was kinda irritated at first, but I think if you work the program you will already be prepared for what's to come after surgery.  It gives you time to change your mindset, switch gears, and refocus.  I'm really going to make these 4 weeks count!

Plus, I'm so excited to have a surgery date that allows me to be able to focus on the bigger picture.

Let's get it!!
