Day 3 of my Liquid Only Diet. 11 days until surgery. Stefan has been great trying to cook all the meals for the kiddos and himself and even pack their lunches for Summer School just so I don't have to be exposed to food. Dr. Ellner's diet is very strict,
1. Drink 64 oz. of water per day
2. Protein Goal per day is 60-110 grams
Each serving must contain less than 4g Sugar and 4g Total Carbs
I am addicted to the LAPBANDTALK.com site and it's great to be able to hear the stories and connect with folks who are experiencing the same thing. I did however see that some people cheated even up to surgery date and were fine. But this is a test of will-power and conditioning of the mind. I CONTROL the food, it doesn't control me! The people on the forum all seem to have diets that are very relaxed with some people moving to "mushies" (mushy food) by week 3.
I actually just canceled a get together with my friend Nikomi because I didn't think I could handle just sitting - I'm a little short-tempered right now as well as a little light-headed. Of course I'm going to lose weight, I'm starving!
Hang in there, May! 13 pounds down - 45 to go.
