You guys are starting a great journey. Take measurements of your body as you are likely to see changes there even when you don't see them on the scales. I wish I had done this. Good luck.

I wanted to cheat tonight, but just kept feeling guilty.

It's pretty crazy how fast everything can change.

I'm moving forward! This is it!

Thank you for the support. I need it!

If you feel the need to cheat, maybe you are not ready. I never cheated because I was afraid of the 'what ifs' etc. Also, if your liver is not reduced in size they will not band you. That is another reason for the pre-op diet of liquids etc.

Good luck.

I wanted to, didn't feel like it.

And the what ifs were what made me stop.

I have to do the liquid for 5 days only so I'm good.

I've been craving a bagel all day, definitely considered eating one but decided not to and to sip on some broth instead. I'm happy that I decided not to cheat on my diet, I would have felt incredibly guilty if I had!

      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.
