Superbowl junk food and pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

If my husband would have thought it was funny, I would have turned the joke on him! I would have left the house and went to the most expensive store and bought myself the most awesome incentive outfit that anyone has ever seen! I would have waltzed into the room, hung it up in the middle of the party and with a huge smile, hand the receipt to my husband in front of them all! Then thank your husband and his friends for their encouragement!

I knew i like you for a reason!! LOVE that idea!!! ^5

I spent the entire winter holidays ...thanksgiving to new years on liquid. Between the pre and post op liquids. It was no fun but I dealt with it.... And today I am attending my 3 rd super bowl party since being banded 25 months ago ......221 lbs lighter in my size 6 jeans.

Hang in there..Keep your eye on the prize!!!! It is so worth it!

I am on day three is real hard! I am so hungrey and tonight is a family dinner omg this is so hard eye on the prize! I also have the shakes like crazy which no matter how many how much chicken broth or protien shakes or Jello I have! I want to cry!

For me it was day five before I stopped the shakes and headaches......and somewhere along the line I lost my desire for food ..... Hang in there...it gets better. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!!!

You'll have the last laugh next year when you're all slim and sexy and they're standing there with their beer bellies hanging out. Then you'll see who is the most fit.

And yes, your son is a super hero and deserves a special treat of some sort.

Hang in there, it is worth it!

Hello all. I'm on day 5 of my pre op Optifast liquids and we're getting ready to go to friends for a Super Bowl party. I will take my Jello and Popsicle but this is my first tough day. Reading your success stories really helps!!

My mental hunger and the jerks that are ribbing me will not defeat my purpose. It smells good but I have been sucking down broth until I am floating (who knew that would work). My son is my hero today - hubby, not so much.

Next year I think I will actually take my son to the superbowl and make hubby stay home with the rest of the kids. Yeah that sounds like the perfect plan. Or maybe a cruise, where I can actually wear a swimsuit in February.

Thank you all for the words of encouragement and faith in me. Love the cheer squad that we have on here.

Just think of this accomplishment. It is an accomplishment when you can dodge that all mighty junk food bullet. You did the right thing and you will be fine.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
