Ok, i'm on a partial liquid diet started today.

I'm on Glucose Controlled Boost, 4 shakes per day, and 5 ounces of protein and 2 cups of veggies for dinner. 8 glasses of water or more, and sf popsicles, jello, broth and crystal light in between.

I've had 2 shakes so far, and they don't taste too bad!! Just had a popsicle, and a little Crystal light.

I haven't cheated at all.

Going back to bed, cause I just found out I have a double ear infection, and I have been experiencing severe thigh pain. Dr ordered an MRI for me.

Have a great day!!!

just saw this boo. I hope your feeling better today. You are doing so well your attitude is inspirational. You keep on and it will all be at the first goal (surgery) before you know it.

Have you tried the cherry palmagranit crystal lt? (spell check cant even get that pam one lol) it is very good. make sure you concentrate on what you are eating with no distractions. It might help your brain remember you are eating and curb the hunger a bit...........sounds weird but the mind is really the control center. keep updating us were behind you 100%

Boo1962 09/12/2013

Aww thanks everyone!

KatLin, no..haven't tried that Crystal light, I will ck it out!! I don't know what i'd do without my CL.

I hopped on the scale this morning, just to see if any of this partial liquid diet had any effect, and it said I lost 5 pounds since Tuesday!

I know, weigh fluctuates during the week, but I was curious ya know?

I'm happy. And, i'm also happy I can eat one of my favorite proteins..FAT FREE REFRIED BEANS!! YAY!

Boo girl take the 5lb as a true loss girl you are working hard for every ounce you are shedding. bend that arm and pat yourself on the back. yes it is a order.......ok well strong suggestion. lol

Now you are doing great and this is not a fluctuation.......say that 20x in the mirror and tell yourself how absolutely fantastic you are because even though we know this about you I think all of us from time to time need to remind ourselves of how amazing we are so get to it lol

hope things are still going well how many days till surgery?

deleted_user 09/13/2013

Hey there.. Sounds like you are doing wonderful.. You CAN do this... Let me know when and where your surgery is being done... I am sure I missed it in the post somewhere....

I hope your ears feel better soon, and I hope the MRI will show what is going on with your thighs... I am sorry you have so much going on.. I hope the surgery and weight loss are going to help you with your pains...

Please call me if you ever need to just talk.. I am here for you always...

Boo1962 09/13/2013

46 days until surgery!! I didn't count, until you asked me too, LOL!!

I am feeling better than I was with the ear infection. Trying to rest and keep fluids going.

I'm trying to stay positive on the diet!!

MRI will be scheduled for the MRI later today. Hoping it's sooner than later!! Cancelled my plans to see Val, because pain is so severe. Went from using cane to the walker, but just used cane, so far so good, but painful to put weight on that leg.

Hope you are all having a good Friday the 13th!!! OOOOOH!

Hugs,
Boo
