1200 Calorie Diet- OMG! TORTURE!

[Candace2314 117]

So,

Today is my 4th day of the "all liquid diet"- It's been pretty bad. Like I've actually dreamed about eating bacon! BACON of all things lol. My boyfriend is being supportive and he is following the diet with me so that I won't feel alone and hungry by myself and it's great to share that with him cause I think I would go insane. Today is going ok, but I just really want a cheeseburger. I saw my dietician yesterday and she thinks I'm going to do great, but it's so hard because my sister leaves hot pockets and Chipotle and Subway everywhere. I even found myself about to take a bite out of her Hot Pocket and she opened her door and I dropped it on the floor- it was a sign lol! This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I know it's preparing me for something even greater and so I'm venting my frustrations. 12 more days until surgery.... wow....

Well,

I hope you guys have a wonderful day! Go Team Sleeve!

Candace

I have been doing the pre-op 1200 cal diet since I signed up to be sleeved back in October. The first few weeks were the worst! I thought i would starve to death! It is low fat, low carb, high Protein and I was beside myself. So many times I wanted to go get a cheesburger or some pizza.

Stick with it cuz it does get easier. After about day 12, I was getting into a grove and not so many cravings were upon me. I still get hungry for things, but not NEARLY like i use to. AND, i have lost 50lbs. PRE OP!! that is pretty amazing!

Keep with it. It will all be worth it!

Best of luck!

Yall will do fine.. If it was soo easy to do what everyone here has done than everyone would be lining up for a part of it.. It is extremely hard and takes a lot of self control. You just have to want it more than you are suffering right now.. Once you get past the carb withdrawls you will be at a better place to help you get through it the rest of the way..good luck ladies and keep you heads up...

i have had the plication done in January but i had to be on a low carb/high Protein preop before hand..I thought i was going to die..the carb monster was rearing its ugly head at me constantly and i constatly had to ignore it...believe it or not the longer you go with out the junky carbs the easier it gets and pretty soon you don't want any of that junk stuff.and better yet when you start losing the weight and the inches its way easy to stop eating junk and replace it with the good stuff.

HANG IN THERE LADIES!!! It is sooo difficult to do this without the help of the sleeve. I struggled a great deal too... it was super hard for me!!! I white knuckled it for 2 weeks... but I have to tell you I'm so glad that I did it. I had a good surgery that only lasted about 90 minutes. Not bad for the Dr. needing to remove a Lap Band AND do a sleeve too...

Bonus: I also lost 9 lbs pre surgery too.

Good luck!!!
