Diet "cheating" Question



Recommended Posts

Way to hang in there! I heard someone say that a craving is only supposed to last 20 minutes. If you can get past that then you are mostly in the clear!

Bah, the only thing good at Sonic anyway are the strawberry limeades and cheddar bites. ;) Esp since they did away with the cheddar peppers. You didn't miss anything, and now your superego can give itself two big thumbs up.

I miss me some cherry limeaid. I gave up soda months ago and that had to go too :(

omg Melissa, I had to fight with myself for three days pre-op not to go to Sonic..I soo wanted a chili cheeseburger from there, but I somehow resisted and was thankful because I didn't want to go into surgery with the usual diet mentality I've always had, which was pig out today, diet tomorrow. Good for you for resisting!

besides what others said, if you eat crappy food now after eating well, your body will probably revolt & you'll end up in the bathroom all afternoon!! I've stuck to having more SF popsicles or SF Jell-O when I've craved stuff. It's not exactly the same, but gives me something other than liquid and it's okay by my doctor's guidelines. I'm NOT looking forward to tomorrow since I have to just to all Clear Liquids all day tomorrow since it's the day before surgery! So much for Mother's Day. I guess I'll just have to cherish the non-food gifts!!

      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.
