I need to Vent...

Hey Sleevers,

I'm on day 6 of my liquid diet and I'm on only liquids. I'm to have Protein Meal Replacement drinks for all meals and Snacks. So, yes i've cheated but not the way you would think. I have had Jello and broth. In my broth i've added red chili flakes. I've tasted a few bites of my sons food after cooking for him, and I mean a tiny little bitty bite.

I had 2 very thin slices of low fat turkey sandwich meat today also... I just felt like I needed something not sweat. I'm not a sweat eater and all the drinks are making me cranky from all the sweat flavors.

I want a glass of wine really bad but since my surgery is Monday that is out of the question. I'm 209 and i'm struggling with WHY I'm having to do such a drastic diet one week pre-op. After hearing people who are heavier than me eating real food right up till surgery time has me really confused as to why i'm making myself sick of the same foods i'm going to need to eat for the next few weeks.

I would give anything for a Boca burger, a Lean Cuisine, Smart One..... anything that I could ad some salt tootongue.gif

Sorry.... just need to vent. Looking forward to Laxative Sunday... WooHooohmy.gif

I know its so hard! I have people in my local support group that outweighed me by 100 or more lbs and they did not have a liquid diet. I have two people that I have spoken with that had the same surgeon in the last few months and no liquids for them either. It's annoying, but for whatever reason my doctor put me on a 2 week liquid diet too :( Its been hard but I am down 12 lbs as of today and surgery is tomorrow so Im doing only clears today (though he didn't say I had to) Anyways, hang in there, we are almost ready to be sleeved!!

We'll made it thru the weekend. All most there. Hospital called and told me to be there at 7:45

Guess we will all catch up in a few days. Good luck all those who are having surgery tomorrow.

Yes we did make it! Yay for it almost being time! Right now I feel like Im nesting lol, trying to get all the last minute cleaning done and the bag is almost completely packed.

Praying your surgery goes well :)

I have a liquid pre op diet that is starting Wednesday and lasts two weeks.

I'm looking forward to it. Its the start of a wonderful journey. It will be very hard... perhaps the hardest part will be the preop... hunger.. only shakes which might taste awful... but its the start of this wonderful chance to be healthier. Focus on all the great stuff that will come with all the hard work.
