Thanks for your help guys. I really agree strongly with one of the above comments, if it was so easy for me to say no to food, i wouldn't be in this situation in the first place! my surgery is tomorrow and i will be absolutely devastated if he doesn't perform the procedure cuz of that damn quesadilla!

ok im gonna confess an ugly truth and please spare me the rude comments afterwards. I already feel extremely guilty about this. I cheated a few das ago on my preop diet and had a chicken quesadilla. I shouldn't have but i did and i regret it. I was told if you didn't follow your preop diet, the surgeon would be able to tell and he would close you back up and not perform the surgery. I'm terrified! Anyone heard of this happening?

I decided not to do it. I've come way too far to mess this up so i was happy with some sugar free kool aid

I quit a month ago cold turkey. It was really hard I'm not gonna lie especially when its so easy for me and the girls at work to step out for a smoke break whenever we want one. But through all the cravings, I just kept reminding myself that I really had to quit because that's part of the life changing process. Good luck

I'm having surgery Tuesday (so excited!!!) and was kind of wanting to have a 'celebration drink' tonight. Only one of course, but I'm afraid to. Anybody else in the same boat?

Thank you those sound like great ideas especially the ricotta bake it sounds yummy

Anybody have any good suggestions? My surgery is a week from today and still not sure which foods to puree for after I come home.

No im still eating healthy I was trying to say as far as drinking goes I've been sticking to water and juice

That's not the doctors orders that's my choice for right now while I'm giving up soda. I occasionally drink skim milk also.

Hope you feel better

So I have been drinking nothing but water and apple juice for a little over a week now and have only lost one pound. ONE POUND. I know these miracles I've been praying for don't happen overnight but jeesh! But hey losing one is better than gaining one!

Thank you guys for all your help! I'm done with pop completely now and the Excedrin migraine has become my best friend. Gonna be able to stop taking it soon though since my headaches are getting less severe and less frequent. Hallelujah!

*they're

After I had my blood work done, they sent me a letter saying there were a couple things that popped up on there. I had very low levels of vitamin B and D so I bought bottles of vitamins the next day. Maybe there wanting to check yours again

I have my psych eval today at 1:00 and I am so afraid ill get nervous and say the wrong things or something to make them think I don't need the surgery lol but I know we'll do great! Just gotta stay calm!

Hey everyone! I'm new on here and i am getting sleeved on June 11th. Until last week i had planned on getting the lapband until my surgeon talked me out of the decision. Anyways I am in desperate need of some advice. I HAVE to give up pop. Now before this, i could easily drink at least 6 cans of mountain dew a day. I feel like I'm giving up my best friend. Is this normal? lol Anybody have any tips? I get these awful migraines everyday from not drinking pop and sometimes i cheat and sneak a pop just hoping my headache goes away. I bought a bottle of excedrin migraine at the dollar store but haven't tried it yet. How did you guys give up drinking pop?
