I would say just drink crystal light and it'll pass, but that would be a lie. Im 6months post op and have an occasional diet soda . So hang tight you'll have ot again

Hey I have this problem I am 3 weeks post op.... Would love a sprite or coke but it also makes me sick thinking how the bubbles would make me feel... Fingers cross someone with more experience can help us

Cant wait until it is our turn!! Starting to get a little more "real as the date gets closer!!!!

Me too. I'm looking forward for a new me. I pray that all goes well with your surgery.

I'm also Sept. 29 and I'm so nervous but ready to get it over with

I'm getting sleeved on September 30th I'm nervous and my surgery being done open

Yes I'm nervous too but definitely excited it's about to happen! !!! All the before and after videos on YouTube are so motivating!

I am set for Saturday the 27th! I guess there won't be many on Saturday .

Woo hoo!! September 29 sleeve here!!!

You need to feel guilty.........but the guilt is not enough. That guilt needs to trigger a realization that there will be consequences from ignoring the guidelines and you will be the one that is going to suffer those consequences.
That guilt is a warning. Make the best use of it and get back on track and stick to it. Of course it's an effort and sacrifice now, but you're going to be so grateful later and much stronger in your ability to maintain knowing you did it......Stick with it, you'll be fine.

Do not feel guilty. Just do better tomorrow. We will all have moments here and there were we aren't perfect.

Well you're going to get right back to the liquid diet right? That's all you can do. Keep going with the program to a healthier and happier you. Best.

On day 2 of pre-op diet. Just tried unjury chocolate Splendor + 1 Tb. malted milk powder and added extra Sweet N' Low to 1 c. unsweetened soymilk. Wow that tastes good... just like a chocolate malt!

I'm on day 3 as well with a surgery date of Sept 30. I'm not too hungry, but I just want food!

Be strong we are all with u! Look at yourself naked in the mirror and say goodbye to each roll of the fat. It as controlled u long enough! You are in control now and your gonna kick fats ass!

I have been on the pre op for 8 days and I can honestly say that its been hard with cravings but I have not cheated once on this I am looking at like this if I cant get through 2 weeks of a diet how am going to change for a life time I hope everyone has success!!!!

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. I feel much better today than I did yesterday.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words. I feel much better today than I did yesterday.

I totally understand. ...I'm ending day 3 my surgery is 10/1 I did cheat today ???? I had some wonton Soup from the Chinese take out I kinda feel guilty but then again I don't, I have 10 more days to make it up, I just know I will not be making the same mistake twice....hang in there! We all are going thru the struggles of doing this pre op diet...it gets better I hope.

I t will get easier I am a week out on the pre op and I have had the shakes for Breakfast and lunch and around I have a cup of organic chicken broth or vegetable broth and about 5:30 6:00 I have my dinner of the oz. of chicken turkey or fish 1/2 cup brown rice and a cup of cooked veggies except corn, peas or lima Beans they are no no's and through out the day I have warm tea no sugar or cream or sugar free drinks I hope this helps give you an idea to keep from being hungry.

Hang in there, the first 2 to 3 days are the hardest keep your eye on the prize! Headaches are common as your body goes thru a detox period of sugar and carbs. A cup of warned low sodium fat free chicken broth will help with that a lot... best of luck this is only a small step in a long journey!

Tonight I wanted to feel a bit fuller than I did earlier in the day. I boiled 1 lb. carrots (not peeled, to leave the fiber), and 1 onion in a large container of chicken bouillon + a medium-sized can. I pureed it in the blender and added juice and rind of 1 orange, then added salt and cinnamon to taste. By the time I ran it through the blender, it had cooled somewhat and wasn't too hot to add the Protein powder. I put enough of the puree in a large Soup bowl and added a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder. Whew! Feel better.
There's plenty left for tomorrow.

I'm struggling too... I'm not too terribly hungry, I'm just exhausted and have a headache. I guess I anticipated it, but it still stinks. I'm on day 2/14. My surgery is scheduled September 30th.

I'm having the hardest time ever on this liquid diet. I feel hungry, depressed and having second thoughts on having the surgery. The broth is nasty. I can handle the shakes just can't drink a lot. even before I never was a person that constantly drink. Maybe tomorrow will be better

I just started today. Yeah, it definitely isn't easy!
