I'm.doing good. Yes my soda melt down was hard :( my mind was going insane, but I got over it. Just preparing myself for my next one and how to over come it.

Oh my, I know how u feel! It is hard, the only way to make it easier is to just think of today. That's how I was able to get through the liquids stage. And the moment I didn't focus like that, I lost it.

Hang in there, it will be so worth it, I promise it will be. This is a big sacrifice to the awesome body and good health you will gain from it.

U got this! U can do it! Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts!!

If it helps... The main thing that made me Not cheat that first month was the fear of doing any physical damage to myself inside... Cause Mexico is far away and no one here knows anything about plication lol. Maybe that will help motivate? Just a suggestion on how I made it through hell month;)

As always thank you for the support. .from you both... I just wish I didn't have to do this shake only for the next week.. I think I am making it worse for me...I am feeling really weak...so I am laying around instead of making myself busy... I am just looking forward to going to bed everyday and work tomorrow. ... my day will go by faster then this weekend... I am just a mess...I never in a million years did I ever think I would miss chewing. ..? Or real food.... I thought I was stronger than this. My "cheats" have not been that bad. I have made eggs 2 times in the last 6 days. That was my big cheat. Feel very guily.... but not hungry. .I just want this week to go very fast....

On the flip side I have lost 6 pounds..

I am 239 today. MAYBE by next Monday I will be 9 pounds gone and go into this at 230.. I feel better now that I have "Vented"..I am Sorry I am being a big baby....

Not a big baby, and if that's the case I'm in the big baby club too lol

It is hard, I think its the hardest thing to do when your whole life y have been doing something else.

Yaaay for your lbs lost, use that as motivation for your daily intake.

Before u know it, the big day will come!

Stay strong and encouraged, you got this!!

Oops have different post op diets. After day four I could begin to add full liquids which included cream Soups, shakes, yogurt, sf puddings, broth, sf Popsicles and of course sf Jello. None of these hurt me at all I just couldn't eat much at a time. Love mush sp... So don't feel bad about your cheats... I think your diet is a tad strict . Not that I'm saying anything

Negative about it, just don't be hard on

Yourself! You guys are doing great!

I can't thank you two enough for taking the time to respond. .. I feel alone... because I dont know a soul that has ever had any wls... so when I have my thin mother telling me.. "just dont think about it" drives me crazy...... I dont understand why every doctor has different pre-op diets... mine.. is unfair. .lol. ... compared to everyone else... but I will keep on trucking. I added a picture so you can put a face to the tears...lol. I thought it would make me feel better.. NOT REALLY... tomorrow 7 days and counting....bare with me...

I completely agree with above! I didn't tell anyone but my husband so I felt

Like I was in this unknown hell and had no one to talk too or support me. I kept it secret so I had to hide my tears from those im closest to. So I am totally here for you too. Trust me when I say that I promise in a couple more weeks your hormones and body will balance out and all this emotional turmoil will be a distant memory replaced by excitement and positivity;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
