Oh yikes... that is terrible advice... stick to it with all you've got! I've been looking at it as a test. If I can do this, then I know I'll be successful! My preop diet is 4 weeks long... 2 weeks done, 2 more to go!

Thank you i just started my preop liquid diet today and already failed. However it was not with sugar but with Protein. I needed to chew.

Well, you need to remind yourself of why you started. What’s more important that 10 minutes of eating food you shouldn’t have, or a healthy life with no insulin shots? Just remember- it’s not a game, it’s not monopoly, if you cheat the only person you are going to hurt is yourself. I don’t mean to sound harsh- it’s just reality. This is our life- cheating doesn’t hurt the doctor, or the surgeons, or anyone else but yourself. ALWAYS remember why you started.

Hi so I am new to this forum.. Actually I am new to forums in general, however I need to talk to people going through the same, or have gone through the same thing I am...

That being said, I am super nervous about the 2 week pre-op diet. I started my journey at 460lbs. currently just under 300lbs. One day after giving myself insulin and hitting a sore spot I got up off my butt and started walking and swimming (felt more like re-enacting some show at Sea World... seriously...) I didn't change my eating at all... I suck at diets. When I restrict I tend to CHEAT!!!! When I say Cheat I mean like the banker when playing monopoly..
I was just scheduled for surgery 4/24/18 and pre- op diet to start on the 10th...
I instantly went into this mode where I was mapping out all the places I wanted to eat before the 10th... Like I am going to take down some olive garden salad in a few hours...
I am concerned that i may cheat and go down in a blaze of glory...
Do any of you have any suggestions?
