Difficult day 13 on pre-op diet

[Jodi_620 37]

Well I am on day 13 of my Liquid Protein diet. I have done well and today was the true test. Up until now I have just avoided food situations but we had our monthly lunch meeting at work. This month was a catered "Fiesta" lunch with chicken wings, rice, salad, tortilla chips and cookies/brownies.

:frown:

I sat with everyone and had my mug of chicken broth and didn't cheat!!!!

I haven't yet told everyone about what kind of surgery I am having and wondered how this would go (would they ask questions?) nobody asked they just sympathized with me having to watch all of them eat.

I go in for my surgery at 6AM this Friday!!!! :sad:

Jodi, congratulations for staying with the diet. I know it was a struggle to not eat. Believe me, I had to endure this past Memorial day on my post op liquid diet and I had to avoid all the food being served. My husband had previously decided not to cook anything for the holiday, but I told him that he should not let me be the reason he didn't have a good meal. He grilled ribs, steak and mushrooms. I could not bear to smell the food, so I went to another room until he had finished. I have six more days than I can go on mushies. Anyway you are a true dedicated person to sit there as everyone else ate. You will do fine with this band. Good luck to you.

Congradulations on making it this far!!! I can't wait to be on day 13, I am on day two and the only thing that is saving me is I can have a small piece of meat and a low carb vegetable for dinner.....

My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Friday......Great Job!!!!!

And same to you Coco...I didn't do Memorial Day this year. We usually have my hubby's family over for a BBQ, he had to work part of the day and with my diet, everyone was understanding when I skipped this year. Instead I worked in the yard and smelled the BBQ smells wafting through the neighborhood and that was hard enough!

Thanks, To be free. The time went by pretty fast, the first four days were the hardest for me.

I wish you both all the best!!!!

Oh my gosh . . . I just finished Day 1 of my liquid preop diet and the closest thing I'm allowed to "solid" food is cottage cheese. ugh. I ate it and I don't even like cottage cheese! I can't imagine what Day 13 must feel like.

I only have to do this for 6 days . . . so I really can't imagine what Day 13 would be like . . . 6 is bad enough. :thumbup:
