OK, since I only post here when I've eaten good things, I'll be totally honest about today. Freaking disaster, lol. Not a lot in quantity, less than usual but horrible choices.

Breakfast - 2 pieces of raisin toast with butter

Grazed during the day on a pack of Maltezers. Fundraising chocs from the kids school.

dinner - half a bag of hot chips at the footy.

Not one single fruit or vegetable!

Breakfast - raisin toast - with butter again

lunch - hehe, 3 hot chips and a dim sim (at basketball) and then later on some dried mango and almonds

Dinner: a slice of corned silverside, cheese sauce, broccoli and carrots and mashed potato and a nice glass of sav blanc. Doug's parents came for dinner. I passed on the ice cream for dessert.

I also replaced a few cups of coffee with peppermint tea today.

Oh, boy, it hasnt been a great week for me, lol. This isnt typical though.

Breakfast - we had a big cooked breakie because the boys had two friends over to stay. I didnt overeat, but had 1 rasher of bacon (lean only), one dry fried egg and half a croissant with apricot jam.

lunch - some almonds (maybe 1/2 cup) and some dried mango - six or seven pieces and a bit later a cup of pumpkin Soup

Afternoon: - went to the movies to see DaVinci code. I ate popcorn out of Ewan's tub. A few handfuls, plus a diet coke. No dinner, but I just ate the other half of the croissant I had for breakfast - sans jam this time.

Not to self: Croissants OUCH.

Its weird because a few days like the last 3 prior to my band and I would have eaten large quantities of everything. Now I still feel like I pigged out but when I add it up, I really havent. Probably wont lose much this week (weigh in on Monday mornings) though.

OK, well I'm back from my cruise and I have to say that I was TERRIBLE with the food! I had appetizers, main courses and desserts!!! The only time I showed restraint was at the chocolate buffet (though my BF had a freakin huge plate of chocolate and ate it ALL!). I wouldn't doubt it if I gained 10 pounds. I did bike at every port that we went to, so hopefully that was a little saving grace. Back on the bandwagon!!!

Here are some cruise pics from that eating frenzy I had... http://www.flickr.com/photos/puddinpie.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
