I want to cheat so bad! I need some food! How did you all do it? Anyone cheat?

I'm day 6 of my liquid diet. Today was the hardest. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm having this done mainly because I'm doing it alone. No one knows. I get sleeved on Sept 4 three days before my bday

Good luck. Just remember you're not alone in this. You have an awesome support base right here.

You guys are awesome I glad I found this site

My thread was hijacked! LOL

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it as food has been a bit of a party lately. I keep thinking.... Oh, I can't eat this for a long time??? I better eat it now!! It will be nice not to have to think about food for a while. I feel so bloated I think I will feel better.

Oh sure, I say that now but we'll see how I feel after a few days of liquid diet!!! Good luck!

Sue peeps I start tomorrow too! I have done the same thing today well the last couple of days thinking very soon my life is going to change for the best! I am looking forward to the pre-op as well! I actually get to have a dinner daily so I am sure I can manage 2weeks of this. Best wishes to you on your journey

I had called it my food bucket list I put on 5 lbs in 4 days... So now after a week of liquids I have only lost 2 lbs. the 32oz margarita was worth it!

Way to go! I'm down 10 and feeling better already! Hunger pains come and go I keep busy to try and ignore them. Especially at night! I just go to sleep lol

Yazun, those hunger pains were the worst on pre op, but im a few days post and I never have hunger pains. In fact I was walking around the grocery store today like a champ, nothing bothered me!

And yes from your avatar, you do have a pretty face , from what your friends tell you!

@philly yum when we're you sleeved? Glad to hear the hunger pains are going to go away! How has your recovery been?

8/22 and already feeling like a champ! Ive been having some of the best nights sleep as well! I have to honestly say pre op so much worst the post op! I even had baby food today, and yes, I am bragging about this. How is your recovery?

My surgery is scheduled for 9/3 and I am so excited! This forum has been so helpful! I'm nervous about going under but I am so excited about the new me! How much have you lost?

My surgery is 9/3 getting nervous about going under. I think that's why I am asking so many questions on this forum. How much have you lost?

Same here Sept 3; I've told no one.

I'm in a really rough spot. I don't get a sleeve date until I lose 15 pounds. Set in stone. What I don't know is how soon after the 15 I'll have the surgery. So, my pre-op diet could potentially last a lot longer than I really want.

My weakness isnt really a particular food. It's the time of day. I can drink tea and protein shakes all day long but right before bedtime, the pantry calls. That lonely stand-before-the-fridge-and-stare thing. It just feels humiliating and shameful to take something out and eat it with a heavy heart.

Back on track: it would be wonderful to have a deadline. I could hit it hard and do it. The whole vague up to me deadline is pretty hard.

I am at the end of my second day of a 31 day pre-op diet. 3 shakes and non starch veg plus plenty of water is all I'm allowed. My sister made cupcakes tonight, I didnt want any of them which is good- but right now I'm in bed and starving!!!! I have resigned myself to the fact that I'm on the diet for a long time so trying not to get worked up about it. I have also been planning my parents 40th wedding anniversary cake and dinner tonight- then realising its a month after surgery and I won't be able to eat any of it!!
