It is secretly terrifying me! I'm scared that I won't have the willpower to do it, binge eat on brownies and get sick! Anybody else dealt with some type of anxiety about following diet? That is bothering more than the actual procedure

You just need to remember why you are doing it. I am 9 days post op and still not hungry. I have lost 25 lbs since pre op diet just doing what they told me to do. One thing I did on the pre op was added a lot of ice to my chocolate protein shake and blended it. It got thick and I would put it in a tall glass and eat with a spoon. I tricked myself into thinking it was a reward that way and I started looking forward to my shakes. I can't do that post op cause I can barely finish half a shake right now but you will make it. Stay strong!!

I totally hear you! It's very hard, but just keep thinking of why you're doing this and you won't binge.

I have the same fears. I'm in the purée stage and hate it! LOL! Afraid that when I can bite into something again it will be a pizza! Hang tough and I will too. Good luck!

Well to be honest when I was able to start my mushie I didnt over do it. The urge isnt there....it was the weirdest thing. You will do fine. pizza is my favorite and I wont be eating it the way I used to. I cant eat bread,rice,potato thing like that so I've decided that when it comes time to eat pizza I will just eat the toppings. The biggest thing I will miss for sure will be Pasta but ya know what all I will have to do is pull out my "fat" pictures and remember that that was one of my problems and if I eat it I will be right back to where I come from. And I'm no going back to Egypt!!

I am having the same fears!! I start my 2 week pre op liquid tomorrow. so yep i had meat lovers pizza for dinner yesterday and a bacon burger for dinner tonight! I had to eat my favorite things one last time :-) Im scared of falling off the wagon pre op. Post op i think i will be ok because i dont want to damage the band or get sick. Good luck! i think we will be just fine!!

hey shon and ready

i thought that very same thing and i let it get into my head. i overthought it.

when the time came, i just did what i had to do. the first 2 days were the hardest.

i am on day 9 and i cant believe i made it this far. you will too. drink your protein

because that is what feeds you. hang in there

Whew! Glad to know I'm not alone with this. I won't let it get to me because I know I have to do right to make this work. But giving up steaks, burgers and brownies hmmm! It's worth it tho. Especially if it helps eliminate my high blood pressure

you will only be giving them up for alittle while (and then just eat small amounts of them later). it is worth is and i promise you will do just fine. first couple days are the worse and then its (normal) almost.

I will be on a liquid diet for one week before my band and it is 4th of July week!! Please say a prayer for me! I love BBQ and all the sides, but I will be saying I LOVE my protein shake....yes I do!!

you can do it goal

you can do it goal

Thank you!!
