Okay, to be perfectly honest I have had cottage cheese twice. One today and once yesterday. I also cheated by having a half cup of lentil Soup with a Caesar salad.

This is not easy for me at all.

I'm still doing my Protein shakes and liquids, today no solid food at all.

I am down 6 lbs in 6 days.

@@cockapoomom I had lentil Soup with the lentils and veggies on Thursday..... I had the worst head cold and was stuck at work for 16 hrs and couldn't imagine trying to muster energy with nothing for my body to break down. I swear we all do it - some just make it seem like it's unheard of lol

@Shell88. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one :). At least we made healthy choices instead of the alternative.

I just put a big bowl of sugar free Jello to chill in the fridge for popcorn.< /p>

A close friend who had sleeve said she cheated almost everyday including in and out burger and chick filet and her surgery went great. She's now a size 4/6 if you can believe it, but she was small to begin with just at about 200 lbs.

@@cockapoomom thats all I keep thinking! I see a lot of these diets with one small meal, and how bad can lentils or veggies be for you?? We've got this - we're doing a lot better than some, and our choices are not in the least bit horrible... though I could have went for a dominos pizza yesterday at work lol.

@@heav85 I started my journey August 22nd, injured myself in November a week before pre op liquid and had my surgery postponed. I began liquids on Feb 26th. 4 days to go!!!!!

So my in laws are taking us out to a Mexican restaurant or bdubs tomorrow and it will be day 9 of my pre op. I'm allowed one meal a day consisting of 2 Oz of meat and a salad. I think I may pull out my bariatric diners card and get a small meal. They have black bean burgers at bdubs. May try one of those

Day 5 now and I have cheated once by eating broccoli. That was on day 3. I am only allowed clear sugar free liquids and Protein Shakes. I don't have a problem with feeling hungry all the time....just fighting old habits of putting something in my mouth at any opportunity. I'm just craving something to CHEW now. I have lost 11 pounds in 5 days on this preop diet. Got many more days to go.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
