I really felt incapable of losing weight i have not weighed myself but I feel like I lost something.

For the most part I have stayed true to my diet despite my hubby requesting my presence at the local Waffle House while he Chomps down on a full course Breakfast while I sipped on my delicious mouth watering Water. I stayed true to my diet that day.

I don't know if Pickle Juice is a cheater or not but it was dam good. I would drink sardine juice if I could, I am over this darn pre diet, mentally I am on mushy foods. I could stay there for a while.

One positive thing this diet has done for me is broken my sweet tooth.

Is Chick-fila diet lemonade okay for the full liquids?

Way to go, @@JosieAppleHead! Congrats on hanging in there. Glad to hear you've broken your sweet tooth!

I'm on Day 3 of my 10-Day pre-op liquid diet. One thing I've figured out: being compliant is a moment by moment process. You make the right choice one moment at a time. You can't do it any other way -- it would just be too hard.

Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted!!

Not very cool of your husband..... The diet lemonade should be fine as long as it is definitely the sugar free one. (Don't let them accidentally give you full sugar drink. That has happened to me on numerous occasions which really stinks since I am a diabetic.)

I feel so bad for you having to sit in the awful house and watch other people eat! When I was going through the liquid diet both preop and postoperative I could not get my husband to even eat anything in front of me.

It was his way of being very supportive and he thought it was cruel to eat anything in front of me.

It kind of made me a little crazy because I knew he was starving and would not eat unless I was in bed or gone. I finally convinced him that my choice to go through this should not punish him in the process. He finally started eating in front of me again but it took a very long time.

@@JosieAppleHead My hubby likes to eat out and we do regularly Breakfast Sat & Sun and Tues & Sat night. he has been wonderful and I asked him how he felt about ordering a la carte and maybe sharing a spoonful of eggs, etc. He is losing weight and we are saving money eating out. Longhorn he gets the redrock shrimp (2 skewers of 4), broccoli (in place of rice) a steak and loaded baked potato. I get the broccoli & 4 shrimp and it costs us nothing extra. I bring the liquid SF lemonade and add to Water or unsweetened tea. Huddle house is usually breakfast and I get an egg scrambled and a little of the ham he orders and a cup of black coffee.

its almost over!

my husband hasnt changed one bit and i wouldnt have it any other way, i dont think everyone around me has to change or adjust to make me feel better...i even cooked for him quite a bit on my preop, making enchiladas, grilling chicken and making a steak for him...i am on mushy foods now and i make his dinner then blend mine down to join him.

you will do great! just keep on trucking!

for me the preop diet was the hardest part

      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.
