I tried & tried... but i cheated on the 1st day of my 5 day liquid diet (prior surgery)...Will this have a big effect when its time for my surgery? I need some encouragement.not sure if i can do this.:cheated:

Start again tomorrow and don't sabotage yourself with negative self-talk-- if you tell yourself you can't do it, then I bet you won't be able to. But, I KNOW you can. We've all been there-- take it a day at a time and you will get through this.

I think you will be fine....just try to stick to what your doctor said. As for me, I did not have to do any pre-surgery diet so I am pretty sure you will be okay.

Its 5 days..you so can do it..I know its hard...you didn' sabotage yourself and I am sure you will be fine for surgery just try your best to stick with it..the doctor must feel its best and you certainly dont want to possibly cause an issue with getting surgery over a buritto:) hang in there...you will be fine..just try and do your best at sticking with it..you are going to need that self discipline through this process so you need to find it in yourself! Good luck!

You can do this! Hour by hour day by day. Start fresh in the next hour and all will work out you can do it!

Hang in there - you did not sabatoge yourself with one burritto but start new tomorrrow and after the first couple of days it will get easier - remmeber your ultimate goal~ The purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver so the stomach is more assessible for the surgeon. If yu have been on a high Protein diet before surgery you normally do not need a liquid diet .. I am sure you will be okie dokie

I guess it's all relative... some of have fattier livers than others... it just depends on each patient.. but i don't think one burrito will make much difference... as long as it stops there

Good luck!!

It's only 5 days, well 4 now... remind yourself plenty of people have to do it for TWO WEEKS. If they can do it so can you.

Thx u all for the support. I woke up this morning on a positive note. Just made my whey Protein shake & about to walk the treadmill... I must say this website is great. thx again

I agree, don't be too hard on yourself! The first day of my liquid diet I was so hungry I couldn't stand it, and I ate a chicken sandwich at the end of the day. I still ended up losing 25 pouinds before surgery, so don't worry. As long as you are being aware and take everything one step at a time you'll do fine! Good luck!

THANX ROZIECAKES....ITS DAY 2 & ITS STILL TOUGH..BUT I'M HANGING IN THERE..
