So my surgery is in two days and I have to admit I have cheated a little. My diet was for 10 days of high protein liquids no food. My approval went really fast, and because I am a bit smaller (i guess?) my doctor was able to squeeze me in for surgery faster than what was originally planned. I didn't meet with my NUT until Monday, almost 1 week after starting my diet. I was STARVING...turns out, I wasn't getting enough calories on the high protein liquid drinks I was drinking, which led me to cheat. Here is what I cheated wtih before today....a couple bites of chicken (grilled, and very small bites...less than an ounce), scrambled egg...my son made it and it smelled so good, i ate two bites, a hard boiled egg, a bite of a hot dog (no bun), some frozen yogurt (no sugar added and was at a place that had no protein shakes available), and the worst....on day 3 of my diet a co-worker was leaving and they brought in cinnamon crunch bagels from Panera....I was bad! I felt so guilty! My husband told me to let it go and not beat myself up but to try really hard moving forward. I tried, I really did. I have told myself that I am not going to cheat at all anymore....surgery is in two days after all. I have lost about 19 lbs from my first appointment in July (12 of them since starting this liquid diet). Did anyone else cheat like I did? When I looked I only heard of people cheating with an actual meal, not a couple bites daily...I am really nervous that I screwed something up inside. Feels good to admit what I ate though, hopefully someone out here understands.

I appreciate the FYI but it's moot. I don't even know what "gelatein 20" is. Never heard of it. (Actually I guess I have now that I've read your post - which I hadn't before - whilst trying to figure out why you were telling me this.) It could be the best stuff on the planet.

What I was "talking" to her about was Gelatin Protein. That's not a brand, it's a mistake that a lot of new-to-WLS people make. And something I've tried to inform MANY new people about when proteins/protein drinks come up. Things like gelatin shots and collagen solutions seem to be the perfect solution to new people struggling to hit their 60gm with about a 50cc capacity, and don't realize the harm they might be doing.

Just as an FYI...gelatein 20 has whey protein isolate in it

Gotcha, Wheetsin. My response was purely informational...and not really even directed at you (but for anyone looking for a suitable "jello"-type food).
