Help! I SOO want to cheat!!!

[onikenbai 33]

Ok I have seen a thousand threads about cheating and preop diets etc and "thought" compared to some mine wasn't too bad...boy was I wrong! Here's what I can have...

Powerade, gatorade, apple or orange juice-2 cups daily

milk 1 cup or 8oz yogurt-3 servings daily

Atkins or no sugar added carnation instant b. 1-2 daily

and unlimited ....sugar free Jello, sf popsicles, broth, crystal light, propel...

Gatorade and orange juice?!? Those are LOADED with sugar. Kind of defeats the purpose of having all that other sugar free stuff and definitely won't help in the liver shrinking department. I had to cut out all fruit juices, sports drinks and any beverages with sugar in them, including natural sugars. If you really need a sports drink for the electrolytes, Nestea makes a sugar free powder.

I just started my diet a couple of days ago. I know what your going through. My family decided that they're going to make a huge dinner for superbowl sunday and I know its going to be hard but I keep telling myself that I can't start a healthy life if i'm not willing to give up the unhealthy one. I open up my pantry and look at all the Snacks and tell myself no. I know that my surgery date is close (feb. 12) and I know that sabotage will only make my journey more difficult. Goodluck.

I hope everything goes well and that you have an amazing weight loss journey

I was doing my my pre-op on Superbowl Sunday. We went to a party. It was no fun slamming down my shakes while my friends were enjoying real food. I focused on being with friends and made it through. You can do it, too! :sifone:
