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!

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 :P

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.

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!

      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!!
