Pre Op Blues

[simply.me.vsg 6]

My surgery date is scheduled for the 12th of October so I started my diet on Sunday. My concern is cheating. Today I stayed within the 1000 calorie limit but I substituted a shake for a salad. I feel so bad about it. Any advice or insight on how to stick to my shakes? It's the after taste that's getting to me.

I am also have surgery on that date. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. But I am not allowed food at all only liquids. I work days so I run around like a nut so I know the food won't bother me. But I just hope I can get 1200 calories in a day. Good luck where are you from. I'm in New York.

I'm from Maryland . My surgeon gave me a target of 800 - 1000 calories a day with a daily meal plan consisting of a shake for Breakfast, a snack, a shake for lunch, another snack, and then 300 calorie or less dinner. I work in an office setting so I'm used to snacking all day but I substituted Water for other Snacks. I've been on this diet since Sunday and I've stayed close to or under 1000 calories each day.

My coworker is going in a week after me and all she has to do is do a 25 hr clear liquid diet that's it.
