Superbowl junk food and pre-op diet

[PattyGirl66 1,243]

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!

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.

Thanks Cheryl. Today had been easy breezy. It really is getting easier.
