Day 3 and I'm not climbing the walls.

So I've been allowing myself ISOPURE (which is the protein), sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, and chicken stock cubes. Does anyone have ideas regarding what else would be okay in the liquid phase?

I made it through day 2 on liquids but I think I'm going to go to sleep a little early to resist temptation. Since I started liquids early I'll be on liquids 18 days prior to the surgery.

My doctor said the first 3 days will be the hardest. Between now and my surgery I am throwing a huge birthday party for my husband and then flying to Dallas to be the Matron of Honor in my best friend's wedding. I fly home from Dallas about 72 hours before the surgery.

I could have postponed my surgery until the end of March so I wouldn't have to worry about liquids right now, but I thought to myself that the band isn't a diet...it's really a life style change so there is no time to start like the present.

I've noticed since I began to cut over to liquids only my sense of smell has increased. I seem to be able to smell everything. Has anyone else noticed this or am I crazy?

My surgery date is 3/13/09 in the San Francisco area. This is an excellent support website and my support group won't meet face to face until April...thus...

I'm very excited and my doctor said I could cut over to liquids only a few days early so I cut over yesterday. When I hit Onderland, everyone will hear me screaming for joy from SF.

I'm feeling invincible today!

I did it! I did it! I did it!

Phew.

I followed program 100% today. I last saw my doctor (Dr. Feng in California) on 2/13. He told me I had to be on liquids only two weeks prior to surgery but if I wanted to start earlier it was up to me. So for about a week a began to prepare myself to cut over. Today I was 100% successful! I'm really pleased. Now that I've had a day offically cut over, I know I can continue until my surgery.

Hurrah! I feel really good right now.

BTW, is anyone else using ISOPURE? I actually enjoy it.

That is wonderful wonderful ONDERFUL news.

It counts.
