I'm struggling.

[Separ1418 101]

I have two weeks to go until surgery - I was doing great on the pre-op diet but today, completely without a second thought I ate a piece of apple bake bread a co-worker brought in. I'm feeling like a failure, and feel frustrated from not feeling well from the Protein Shakes (struggling getting my Lactaid dose correct!) Anyway - I needed to confess to someone, back on the horse, right?

I feel your pain. I'm on day three of 7. You are not a failure, a failure would be to give up. Be strong, forgive yourself, move on, and you got this!

This isn't even an issue. Just do your best to not do it again. You've got this.

Why not just do lactose free milk? Lactaid makes lactose free and fairlife is lactose free

I do use Lactose free milk - and soy, I suspect its the whey Protein in the shakes. So I use the Lactaid pills as well.

Thank you so much!

@Separ1418 - I did something similar in my 2 week pre-op phase and when I had my surgery, my doctor was still thrilled with my liver shrinking diet. Try not to do it again and remember, this is the road to a healthier you!

Thank you everyone - I can't tell you how happy I am to have found these forums. I did much better last night - right on track and feeling much better. Thank you all so much for your support.
