Boy, it's only been 4 days and I actually feel great though I haven't gotten the hang of drinking my water in the right amount. Keep getting gas pains almost immediately after taking 2 or 3 mouth fulls of propel.

Yesterday and now today I'm already questioning my decision. My husband is eating regular food, as he should, and here I am with jello and water and chicken broth. What have I done? He had rolled tacos the other night, had ribs the next and tonight he's making chili. I had to go upstairs to get away from the food. I really believe I'm having food separation anxiety. Hoped I wouldn't get it so soon. I've been through the liquid diet and did okay on that but this is different.

I did figure that when I can eat real food I can make my own rolled taco with 1 corn tortilla, some chicken instead of beef, cheese and avocado and then not fry it. That should be okay instead of the 5 rolled fried ones I used to eat.

I know this isn't forever and my son-in-law told me today that when I've lost some weight and start feeling better my mind will also catch up with the good feeling. I've already gone from taking 5 medications for type-2 diabetes to taking 1/2 of the daily dose for 1 and only 1 other. That's great and I should count my lucky stars.

I know, just hang in there and it will get better and probably easier.

Thanks for letting me sound off. Doesn't help me feel better but at least I can put it into words.
