kj44 215 Posted August 21, 2013 You can get thru this.... I didn't think I would make it thru all the liquid and restricted phases either. Definitely the toughest thing I've ever done.... But I made it thru! I'm almost five months post op and down 52 lbs! It's kinds like giving birth..... While in the process u think there's no fricken way.... But when it's over all u remember is how wonderful it is! Wishing u a speedy delivery. :-). 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vsginkc 117 Posted August 21, 2013 We have the same thing at my work and I feel your pain. That said, you can do this!! I'm pretty competitive so one thing that helps me is to think of all the people in my life who have said I can't do it and I pretend all the people who are visiting the birthday food station are saying in their head, "She can't do it...she's going to break and eat." That motivates me to stay strong. (Kind of screwed up, I know...but whatever works lol!) Good luck! You'll be great! 2 gamergirl and TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinsMama 483 Posted August 21, 2013 We went on vacation during mine and my hubby was waiting to go to his fave restaurant...a world famous large buffet. Literally rooms of food. I drank nothing but my Protein shake and kept busy by talking to people at the tables around us (they started the convos...so no I wasn't bothering anyone). I made it and I know you will too. Come back to this site if you start to feel yourself getting tempted. We're rooting for you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotLookinBack 164 Posted August 21, 2013 You can get through this.. they have food all the time here at work.. you and I only have 6 days.. don't sacrifice all the hard work that you have done for a short moment of fake bliss.. you got this.. 2 cheeze82 and TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheeze82 59 Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks all! I did make it through work! Yay! Was tempted but I know why I am doing this! A happy healthy life! For all of those who say you can't go this trust me you can!!!! Just strength and will power! If I can be tempted all day long by a s'mores cupcake and not give in! Anyone can make it because anything s'mores is one of my biggest weaknesses 2 TwinsMama and NotLookinBack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
