Today is my 6th day of my liquid pre-op diet and so far the hardest! I'm a grumpy biaotch as is but 5 days without food.... Lord help my poor family! I've done really well up to this point but today I was climbing the walls. It got so bad that I was licking the seasoning off of my son's Chili cheese Fritos! And then to top it all off my husband just walked in with a Whataburger Cheeseburger and Whatasized Fries. He better run because I'm about to shove that cheeseburger down his throat if I don't eat it first!

In all seriousness, today was very though for me. I got through it with the grace of God Almighty... and chicken broth. My surgery is set for Monday morning and I am looking so forward to breaking this food addiction. My husband thought I was asleep and that is the only reason he brought that burger home. LOL!

Oouchie! 3 days post, and I have to say that day 6-8 were the hardest on my pre op diet! Now Im fighting to drink cup of water! Its amazing how fast the change happens, but once it happens you will find ourself going from fighting to not, to fighting to drink and water of all things! I just watched my friend eat eggs and bacon, and it didn't even phase me.

Philly, I am so looking forward to that feeling! Thank you for giving me hope! Good luck with your weight loss journey!

Just think, here soon he'll walk in with that cheeseburger and all you'll be thinking is about how many empty carbs are in the bun & fries. Saying to yourself "I can't believe he's actually gonna put that garbage in his body".

It's an amazing transformation. You'll never look at food the same way again.

Very true

Around day 7 was my breaking point. I could no longer cook for my family or sit with them while they ate. I knew I would feel differently after surgery, which is why I felt like the whole pre-op diet was just a sick joke designed just to torture me. Hang in there, and tell hubby to eat his burger in the car next time! You're in the home stretch! You CAN DO THIS!!

I feel your pain !!!! Hubby and daughter brought home McDonald's for breakfast and daughter goes to me...Mommy I can not eat the sausage do you want it???? ARRRGGGG my favorite. I said no throw it out and was proud of myself...living in the moment only and taking it one day at a time....I got 8 more days of the pre-op liquids!!!!!!

Oh Wow! What I would do for that piece of sausage right now! I love McDonald's breakfast but then again I love every breakfast! Today is my last day of Pre Op. Can't wait to be part of that Post Op diet! It is hard to get my head around the thought that I will actually not want food considering it's my first and last thought of every day. I am so pumped for tomorrows surgery!

Day 7 of full liquids and tomorrow starts clear so I understand my husband ate pepperoni pizza on front of me and I figured I could legitimately claim insanity when I killed him. I keep repeating just keep swimming. Good luck on your surgery.

I loved Whataburger and probably would have stalked my poor family had they walked in the house with that during Preop. But if you noticed I use the past tense in my love for them. I had some hardcore drive through fast food love and I just don't feel that way anymore. I've even taken apart the lovey little cheeseburger and had just the patty and cheese (I'm 2 mths post op). It truly was not good to me anymore and frankly made me a little nauseous.

Ditto Wolfgirl and OTR. It's hard to believe Preop, but it's soooo true!!!!

I think I miss my personal memories of certain foods, but when they're in front of me now, they're a "turn off". For my future success, I hope it stays that way.

I am a foodie at heart and am so happy to be preparing good guality nutritious foods for my self and family. They are very happy about it too! It also means that I have fabulous little lunches, Snacks and quick dinners "for days". I may need another freezer soon!

Where's your Daddy,

Thank you for the laugh. I was cracking up at your post. Especially because I can certainly relate to it sooo much. Hang in there!
