Pre Op Diet Ticking Me Off.

[yazun82 22]

What a fantastic birthday present! I turn 30 in November so this is a big step. I get sleeved 9/3! I too have only told a handful of people and feel alone...not all support this step

@yaz...it is a great bday gift just wish I could feel like I could tell family and friends without out being judge..I'm doing my more for health issues then anything else but still ...if I mention it everyone says "why are you thinking about that your perfect the way you are" and the dreadful" you have such a beautiful face" like I'm gonna turn into the swap thing after I have it. !!

[yazun82 22]

@graybeauty LOL I get the same here! You have such a pretty face but what about the rest of me? I told my best friend and she tried to convince me otherwise. Saying what an invasive procedure it was and if I only worked out and watched what I ate I would be fine. Hello? Do you think I haven't tried many many times before? This is a personal decision and even if more support would be helpful you do this for YOU!

It has not been easy on the pre op diet and I have actually had hunger pains but I am on day eight my stomach is shrinking and I have lost 12 pounds so far.

[yazun82 22]

Way to go! I'm down 10 and feeling better already! Hunger pains come and go I keep busy to try and ignore them. Especially at night! I just go to sleep lol

I'm day 6 of my liquid diet. Today was the hardest. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm having this done mainly because I'm doing it alone. No one knows. I get sleeved on Sept 4 three days before my bday

I know the feeling, am only on day 3 of 14, cheated a little, I just have to put my mind over metter, we will do good, I get sleeved on 9/7, we can support one another.

[The New Tasha 24]

I want to cheat so bad! I need some food! How did you all do it? Anyone cheat?

I was on a liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery with a non food/drink after midnight the night before admission. I cheated and had chicken most nights for dinner but was very honest with my surgeon about that. While I am sure he was not 100% happy, he did not chastise me.

I am not a medical person but honestly, I think they expect a certain amount of cheating. You are asking people with serious issues concerning food and weight to stop eating! I would say that if you cheat, keep it simple, do not go overboard and really try to stick to liquids the day or two before surgery.

I will be honest & say I did cheat today, day 6 of my liquid diet. I had 3 scrambled egg whites. I am not beating myself up about it. It could have been something much worse!!
