CajugirlBecky 63 Posted July 1, 2012 It is very hard. Everyone that has been through can attest to that. Just try to stay busy and keep only sugar free foods and vegetables in the house. I know with my kids around, the temptation to have junk was too great, so the extra healthy stuff helped. I am having to modify the household diet to get everyone to make better choices. If your going to cheat, at least cheat with something you can have. Try to stay busy and sip sip sip that Water. You CAN do this. Remind yourself of your goal every time you put something in your mouth. Don't beat yourself up if you have a slip. It is hard to break a cycle you have been in your whole life. You did not get the size you are in one day. It'll take some doing, but you got this. 2 victoriatxgirl and LauraTarry reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BizTraveller 101 Posted July 1, 2012 I am on day 5. I feel normal for the first time since I started. I would still love a piece of real food. I put some tabasco in the Tomato Soup and that helped. I am the family cook, so I thought nothing of going to the grocery store for the family today. It was a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JenniJune 79 Posted July 1, 2012 I thought nothing of going to the grocery store for the family today. It was a bad idea. That's the hardest for me, too. Cooking for them is killing me too. I wonder licking a piece of ham is cheating? LOL 1 LauraTarry reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angelakay2 117 Posted July 3, 2012 Ladies! I was in your shows less that 3 weeks ago and let me tell you! I was miserable!!! I even considered cancelling because the pre-op was so dang hard. I survived by adding Mio to my Water and eating SF Jello to trick my brain into thinking I was eating. I even froze it to have "ice cream". No one said this would be easy and how dare the nay-sayers say we took the easy way out! Be proud and be good! It will pay off!!! 2 mizzliz83 and augustkiwi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not tried the frozen SF Jello but my octors office told me today no jello. I was like What??? I can have one small meal a day (turkey, chicken,or fish and a veggie).
