THE DAY BEFORE MY SURGERY I SWITCH TO ONLY CLEAR LIQUIDS BROTH AND JELLO NO MILK OR SHAKES....

I was was doing so good. I started my preop diet on Monday. I had a good routine in place because I was busy at work all week. I don't work weekends and yesterday and today were the hardest. I do all the cooking for my Hubby who is very active. I however not so much obviously if I'm getting surgery on Thursday. Long story short I cheated both yesterday and today. Yesterday was ok I took a few bites maybe 3 or 4 of my husbands Breakfast which was scrambled eggs with cheese. I had my shakes and drinks rest of day. Today however was worse. I had broth for breakfast and later a shake. Around noon we went out to run errands. We ended up at chipotle :'( my weakness. I ended up ordering with him a steak burrito with the works. I was only suppose to eat very little the half of half the burrito... By the time I knew it I ate pretty much the whole thing.... I felt so so so GUILTY I WANTED TO CRY. I. JUST HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AFTER SURGERY. I GO BACK TO WORK THIS WEEK FOR 3DAYS SINCE MY SURGERY IS THIS THURSDAY.... WHAT SHOULD I DO? ANY ADVICE OR SUPPORT WILL HELP. THANKS:)

The good thing is I don't have a scale...for the same reason I don't wanna get disappointed. I work at a clinic full time and even tho I have access to the scale I avoid it. Thank you so much for your advice! Take care:)

My husband was the same way...we don't have any children yet due to my obesity. He said he would love me either way....he mentioned "I met you chunky and I love you that way" After going to support groups and seminars with me and knowing that my weight was the reason we couldn't conceive he has been very supportive. He sees me at times whine and suffer because I can't eat real food but sticks by me every time.I just know he will be the same way your husband is with you now... Hope you have a speedy recovery. God bless u!

Yes thank you so much... I must admit tho yesterday for the first time ever I tried to cheat I picked at a little piece of chicken but I very much regretted it instantly.... I got very sick to my stomach once I chewed it... I got nausea and ended up vomiting. I confessed to my Dr today and she told me I had that reaction because my stomach hadn't had food in days... Doing so upset my stomach. My appetite she mentioned has changed... I'm dying to find out how life after surgery will be.....

Thank you so much:) it might not sound like a lot but to me it is because I have been obese the majority of my life... It was really difficult for me to lose any?

I WENT for my pre op physical today and it went very Well I was really happy with my results. And What really put the icing on the cake was my Dr. said I lost 8.5 lbs since she last weighed me on this Monday when I started my 10day high Protein liquid diet! I was in shock I couldn't believe I lost that much... I don't think I Gave EVER LOST THIS MUCH IN AS LITTLE AS 5 DAYS! AND I STILL GOT ANOTHER 5 DAYS TO GO BEFORE MY SURGERY NEXT THURS. THE 21ST:) :)VERY EXCITED AND SO PROUD OF MYSELF...IT TRULY WAS HARD!

When was your surgery? You look awesome:) I can't wait for mine on the 21st!!

I think you should start a new school year fresh:) you will be making better and healthier choices which will allow you stay focused and concentrate on your schooling.... When is your last appt with pcp? I was told when I got approved surgery wait time was 3-4 weeks... I met with surgeon last Monday the 4th and he wanted to do my surgery today! But I decided next Thurs the 21st:) I'm not sure how much time you will spend or need for recovery but being that its summer months you can benefit more...waiting till December can be difficult with trying to control weight or even exercising especially if you live in a snowy state like I do here in Minnesota:) Hope this helps and good luck:)

Thank you both so much:) Beachbum: how's your liquid diet going? When is your surgery?

I started my appts back in March of this year:) when I WENT to the psyc. Appt it took about 2hrs...we talked about history in regards to family and medical problems, eating habits, any depression..etc. Then I took an hr long computer test that asked me questions about me.. most questions were the same and repeated but worded differently. It is suppose to help identify certain psychological flags. After that my appts were with the clinical nurse, the dietician, and the bariatrician and her nurse.... Had more dietician appts here and there. It wasn't until I was approved did they set up my appt. With the surgeon which was last Monday June 4.... We talked about my procedure and picked my surgery date...its next Thursday June 21! I'm so excited and can't wait for this journey to begin... I wish you the best of luck:)

I'M NEW TO THIS NEW APP BUT I FIND ALL OF THIS VERY VERY HELPFUL! GOOD LUCK FOR YOU AND YOUR HUBBY:)
