What help me was the 80/20 rule;) I was good most of the time but I did allow myself to cheat not the whole day but one meal and then I was back on track. My last meal before my band was Chick fil a meal number one lol but i never had soda, Oh yea an I had pumkin cheesecake:lol: Trust me this is how to make it. Because after the band nothing but liquid So I thank God I did it:D

I really dont want to cheat i am one week in to my two week pre surgery liquids but i am seriously thinking of having some mexican food tomarrow but i dont want to get in to the hospital and have them tell me i have to postpone my surgery. do you think that will happen if i cheat once? When did you get your surgery done?

You will be ok trust me!!! Have your food then the next meal will be your protien drink. I am telling you I am so glad I cheatesd because you will not beable to eat after surgery I had my Surgery on Nov 22 today I got to get soft food. I am doing so good I have to cheat to keep my piece of mind. All those shake started to tast so sweet to me. It take me all day just to finish a shake now, So it hard after to get in your protien just be resonable that all. Good luck

Today I am on the second day of my pre-op diet and omg this crap sucks! After getting over the fact that this is horrible i go to what makes it barable, for me its sugar free Jello. I don't know how I would survive this diet without it. What is helping you or helped you get through and when/was your surgery date?

Dec. 8th 2010 surgery date.

Hi Docs Wife,

My name is Kelly. I went to one of my pre op appts today. I didnt realize that you were put on a diet before you had your surgery. It is gonna be tough for me too. I am not certain if I will have my surgery before Xmas or not. I was really surprised that every one in that office told me to have the sleeve done and then the nurse told me I could have the bypass if I wanted it! I weigh 218. I do not want the bypass. I wish you the best and I am about to know what you are dealing with!!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
