Day 6 of Liquids

May 06, 2010

So I am really enjoying the liquid diet:)  I like having my calories all laid out for me.  I was hungry the first few days but that went away after day 2.  I cook for my family and I admit I stole one fry and a taste of  meatloaf.  But I am not consuming all the Ensure I am supposed to...I just can't.  They want me to drink 5 and a cup of skim milk.  Most days I get in 4 and no milk.  Yesterday I got in 3 and A cup of milk.  Today I as down 5 lbs.  I had gained after I started this LD and was concerned that I would not lose.  I was up to 317.4!!!  Then I sat at 315 which is my actual start weight for thsi LD for a few days.  This morning I decided to get on the scale and I was down to 310.5:)  I was so relieved.  Now I feel like they won't cancel my surgery.  That was my biggest fear.  I am writing down EVERY calorie and cup of water that I consume and I have not made my target of 1378 yet, and have even been below my low end of 1175.  Whatever I am doing seems to be working.  ANd thankfully not constipation which is apparently a side affect of liquids.  Any way it is a happy day:)  I am going to pre-op today.  I have 13 days left until surgery (including today)  It is approaching fast!
