It's just frustrating. I've come this far with no problems had people eat my favorite food right in front of me and then boom!

During my prepp diet I cheated once and ate three cookie then I cheated again and ate a bite of my daughters KFC chicken!! Trust no one is perfect I still lost 17 pounds. Now be sure to NOT cheat getting closer to the day of because certain foods swell ur stomach and if ur doc is anything like mine he won't do the surgery if ur stomach is enlarged, and from what I've heard they CAN tell!

I will definitely keep you posted!! And I'll be praying for you as we'll. thank you!! I'm already nervous/excited too. I know it's the right choice but I always have the what ifs in my head about that small percent of people who aren't lucky :/

Don't beat yourself up, nobody is perfect. You made a mistake, its over so keep going on your pre op diet. You will be fine as long as you stick to the diet from now on. You can do this! Good luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

get back on course and stay on the liquid diet.....(you will come across those who have cheated and say its not a big deal, but it is...you remember why you are doing this) to make yourself well....you can do this. this is the hard part. hang in there.

(ps...did you dip it in ketchup or mustard?? i love it in mustard)

      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.
