Why Cant I Just Be Good?



Recommended Posts

I got told yesterday they moved my surgery up a month so my surgery is September 28th! I started my pre op diet yesterday and today I had to take my son to the dr which is 2 hrs away and what did I do. I CHEATED already!!! I am so frustrated with myself! I have to do the Protein Shakes twice a day and small meal at night and tons of Water. Please help me for I am a weak person and don't know how I'm going to get thru this! I don't want to ruin this but I feel like a total failure already!

you are not a failure! If this was easy we would have all lost the weight by not being tempted. Just start over, every meal is a new chance to make the right choice. next time try to plan ahead and take some stuff with you. Good luck!

My surgery date is 10/1. Today Is my second day of my preop which is 4 or 5 Optifast shakes a day plus one Protein Bar a day. Two weeks of this. Yesterday all I had was 2 drinks and 1 Protein bar. I didn't really feel hungry. Today I had the same. But... After food shopping I had 2 slices of deli meat chicken. While cooking dinner I had a half a slice of tomatoe 2 slices of cucumber and a total of about 2 florets of roasted cauliflower. I did cheat but not too bad and not on bad food. But it took the edge off while cooking dinner.

I totally admit I cheated during my prep. I was supposed to have 4-5 Optifast shakes and only sugar free jell and such. But when I cheated I not ate Protein and I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks! Just get back on the saddle again and start again!

I am on day 3 also. I would love some meat right now. I am trying not to give in. It's hard. You can do it. Think abuout why you are doing this and the end goal. Ask yourself how mad you would be if the cheating stopped your surgery, and then decide if it's worth cheating. I have 11 more days to go and plan an asking myself that a lot.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
