It's just frustrating. I've come this far with no problems had people eat my favorite food right in front of me and then boom!

During my prepp diet I cheated once and ate three cookie then I cheated again and ate a bite of my daughters KFC chicken!! Trust no one is perfect I still lost 17 pounds. Now be sure to NOT cheat getting closer to the day of because certain foods swell ur stomach and if ur doc is anything like mine he won't do the surgery if ur stomach is enlarged, and from what I've heard they CAN tell!

I will definitely keep you posted!! And I'll be praying for you as we'll. thank you!! I'm already nervous/excited too. I know it's the right choice but I always have the what ifs in my head about that small percent of people who aren't lucky :/

Don't beat yourself up, nobody is perfect. You made a mistake, its over so keep going on your pre op diet. You will be fine as long as you stick to the diet from now on. You can do this! Good luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

yep, they are gonna cancel the surgery and then kick you out of your house and then cut all your hair off.... :)

oh my heavens.......ok you ate it. most likely (pooped it out)....dont do it again

get back on course and stay on the liquid diet.....(you will come across those who have cheated and say its not a big deal, but it is...you remember why you are doing this) to make yourself well....you can do this. this is the hard part. hang in there.

(ps...did you dip it in ketchup or mustard?? i love it in mustard)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
