So this weekend, hubby and I decided we would do our date night like we have done every single month. However, I completely forgot that I should have done it before the PreOp Diet. But went to see Hunger Games which was an awesome movie and I had nachos and cheese...OMG! It was so good but half way through the taste of the salt made me stop. At first I felt really bad but my husband was very proud of me because he stated he noticed my reaction to the food and he knew I wasn't going to finish it all. In the end, I didn't feel bad because I had one slip but it was the thought that I might have messed up the previous 6 days preparing for the surgery over some nachos and cheese. In the end, I got on the scale this morning and I am down about 2 pounds since Friday. Therefore since I started the PreOp Diet last Monday, I have dropped 8 pounds.

Did anyone else cheat over the weekend?

I forgot about the pre-op when my aunt brought in little ceasars. I was on my second slice when I remembered. However, the doc said my liver looked good so it had no ill effect on me.

Ready2Bfit..you bet I have cheated on weekends (and special ocassions too). That is why we have the band...even when you cheat is can't be a really bad cheat because the band won't let you that "tool" reminds you. You have horrible pains and then PB...you stop eating junk then (sometimes good stuff too - but that is another whole story). Don't beat yourself up. You are doing great. The pre-op faze is difficult..having the band is actually easier. This pre-op thing will be over soon and you can then start your new and exciting journey. hang in there..you will get through this...we've all been there and understand. Good Luck...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
