Ohhhh yaaaaa, I remember now, strained liptons chicky noodle Soup, TOTALLY ORGASMIC, sorry, but it WAS!!!!

I don't know why I didn't think of that... man, I picked out the dry noodles BEFORE it was cooked! Could have been sooo much easier!

Okay, is anyone really doing this without cheating AT ALL, hats off to you if you are, I gave in and ate a weiner, and a piece of pizza (okay 3 pieces). I'm soooo freakin' miserable.

becca, stay focused!!!! I know lot is going on and it's hard to just focus on your surgery, but really , the better you stick with the pre-op the better the surgery will go. I'm not trying to be mean, but stick to it!!!! Honestly you can eat the weiner and the pizza later. The band is not a dooms-day device. Sending you good energy >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Becca, I can totally realte to the pizza. I have been dying for a slice for the last 12 days, and no matter what I do, I cant get my Optifast to taste like pizza.

Hang in there, dont focus on the hot dog & pizza. Dont dwell on that, remember that we are only 10 days from the big day.

Becca just try to stay strong.

I know how hard it is. Yesterday was the superbowl and my parents made nachos and had all types of Snacks and things. Man oh man I was dying. I went upstrairs and wanted to cry... but I keep thinking ahead. Just think about how good and easy the liquid diet will be after this.

Don't kick yourself for cheating cause what's done is done. Stay focused on the big picture whenever you want to cheat and remember that the outcome of this 2 week hell is well worth the struggle.

Hang in there Becca, like Cloe said the surgery will go smoother for you if you stay with the pre-op diet, just keep telling yourself that this is only temporary, that this too will pass. :hug:

I don't think she WAS kidding....

Here's one for ya.....a few yrs ago ....when those "Xmas" Rice Krispies came out (you know, the multi Xmas coloured ones)....to make Rice Krispie Squares......I made some and took them the to work. Later in the day, my boss (female) pulled me aside and asked me how I had the patience to put food colouring on "some of the rice krispies" to make them all "Xmasie"......she said she must be a "bad mom" cause she would never do that (I'm not even a mom!). LMAO....I had to find a diplomatic way to tell her I bought them!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I should have left her hangin'!

Becca: YOU HANG IN THERE MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!

Yoda thats hilarious! I bet she felt dumb after that one!!

Hey Yoda, maybe she was a relative of Mandi's????

For the rest of you guys on your pre-op......YOUR DOING GREAT, HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!! It is soooooooo hard, trust me I know, but honestly this is the hardest part. Your pre-op makes your surgery feel like a 'walk in the park'. Just keep remembering once it's over, it's over forever. NO MORE DIETING, FOREVER!!!!!!
