Last night my resolve on this liquid diet stage started to falter. I kept thinking something mushy wont hurt. Then would wander in the kitchen to see what I could whip up. Thank goodness the only thing in there is the kids stuff and stuff for a liquid diet right now. So I pulled out all my spices, grabbed some of the nasty chicken broth powder stuff (salt free/gluten free) and made me an impromptu egg drop soup with one egg white.

I gotta say, oh man what a treat!! I am such a good cook. AND AND AND it kept me on my liquid diet phase with out cheating or harming myself.

Granted I knew at one point or another (and it might happen again, hope not but it is possible) my resolve would start to waver, but I didn't give in. Today I am back on track, no wavering resolve, just the desire to keep on truckin.

Way to go Pix. That must have been difficult, but you passed through the hurdle. I started my pre-op diet yesterday and so far so good. I know, though, that I'll be faced with what happened to you last night. The trick is to not have anything in the house that can make a slip-up easy. I need to clean cupboards, lol. Anyway, good luck and good job - Brenda

Oh Pix I am so proud of you. The liquid stage is the hardest so if you can get through I know that everything else will be a snap for you.

You go girl.

Awesome Pix,
I am on my pre-op diet and I can understand completely. Keep up the good work!

Excellent Pix...you're 'can do' attitude will be a big help to your success! Sadly, this won't be the only time you will need to 'push through'...but you CAN do it.

Way to go!!

All I know is that on the 24th (the day I go to the next phase) I am going to have me one nice soft scrambled egg some blended salsa (to chunky at this stage so the blender gets it) and a small dab of provolone dolce (sweet provolone instead of the standard sharp) cheese (sadly can't get this like cheddar made with 2% milk that is why the small dab).

hehe I am good at thinking ahead, it is giving me something to look forward too. LOL
