Tssiemer1 549 Posted May 1, 2016 I don't think I can do this anymore. I thought it was because I was drinking the same shake flavor every time so I got new flavors and I still cannot stand them!! My surgery is May 10th. I just want a piece of chicken and some corn. Like so bad. A piece of bread. Some cucumber. Mmm. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm a wuss.

KristenLe 5,979 Posted May 1, 2016 It's brutal - you're not a wuss! Can you have broth? Maybe something salty will help. I don't think I have to do a lengthy pre-op diet and I'm very glad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaMergs 2,854 Posted May 1, 2016 Call your docs office. Mine, who is VERY strict- crazy so compared to what I've read here, allowed for raw non starchy veggies plain. Helps a ton! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmorri 1,689 Posted May 2, 2016 I am by no means condoning cheating...........and the best approach is to stick to your plan's diet............but.......if you have to cheat don't do it with corn or anything with any carbs....chicken or something like that wouldn't be the worst choice.............. But you can do this there's just a few more days, you got this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montana Gal 448 Posted May 2, 2016 Your not a wuss, please hang in there! Call your bariatric team and let them know you are struggling. I did and they added a few specific veggies to help during the tough moments. They would rather have you call them then go off the plan, you can do this!

SalOdyssey 441 Posted May 2, 2016 Hang in there!! Don't give up the worst has past. Ask your surgeon if there is anything else you can eat. I know mine allows non-starchy vegetables and/or plain yogurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessi29 12 Posted May 2, 2016 My doctor told me that when I get desperate and need something "more" I can have a hard boiled egg white. To me that sounded like lobster or pizza. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
