What help me was the 80/20 rule;) I was good most of the time but I did allow myself to cheat not the whole day but one meal and then I was back on track. My last meal before my band was Chick fil a meal number one lol but i never had soda, Oh yea an I had pumkin cheesecake:lol: Trust me this is how to make it. Because after the band nothing but liquid So I thank God I did it:D

I really dont want to cheat i am one week in to my two week pre surgery liquids but i am seriously thinking of having some mexican food tomarrow but i dont want to get in to the hospital and have them tell me i have to postpone my surgery. do you think that will happen if i cheat once? When did you get your surgery done?

You will be ok trust me!!! Have your food then the next meal will be your protien drink. I am telling you I am so glad I cheatesd because you will not beable to eat after surgery I had my Surgery on Nov 22 today I got to get soft food. I am doing so good I have to cheat to keep my piece of mind. All those shake started to tast so sweet to me. It take me all day just to finish a shake now, So it hard after to get in your protien just be resonable that all. Good luck

Today I am on the second day of my pre-op diet and omg this crap sucks! After getting over the fact that this is horrible i go to what makes it barable, for me its sugar free Jello. I don't know how I would survive this diet without it. What is helping you or helped you get through and when/was your surgery date?

Dec. 8th 2010 surgery date.

Hi Docs Wife,

My name is Kelly. I went to one of my pre op appts today. I didnt realize that you were put on a diet before you had your surgery. It is gonna be tough for me too. I am not certain if I will have my surgery before Xmas or not. I was really surprised that every one in that office told me to have the sleeve done and then the nurse told me I could have the bypass if I wanted it! I weigh 218. I do not want the bypass. I wish you the best and I am about to know what you are dealing with!!!!

This diet is killing me!!! this is day one of this pre-op diet, it would be a different story if i can have low fat things and or meat AI Protein i am dying for something to chew and eat, i have had one Atkins shake this morning and i about threw that up cause it was nasty, i have Unjury but dont want to use my 3 servings or dairy on that, i have had a can or chicken broth and a can of veggie broth and 2 jello's and i am STARVING and i am cooking my hubby and 7yr old salsbury steak and it smells awesome and i am sitting here with my stomach growling, my dinner will be another half shake (cause its nasty) and some cottage cheese and a yogurt, i want food like a salad with chopped chicken why does it have to be this liquid? why does other people eat chicken and veggies arghhhhhh im miserable right now, and this is day one, 14 more days to go
