Frozen devil dog. But it's my time of the month. My doctor just had me on a low cal diet so I actually didnt go over my daily calories. But I haven't really lost any weight :(

I cheated a few times..once in pizza and another time on roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. If i did cheat...i only did it once during the day and didn't have an entire cheat day. Not that i recommend you cheat on pre-op but mine was all liquids for two weeks and i was having a hard time. Still managed to lose 12 lbs and had surgery a week ago. Post op i haven't cheated because i am afraid to do damage to the staple line. Good luck!

I wanted to cheat but I stuck to the diet. I figured the more fat of the liver the easier surgery would go! So glad I did as I am 1 week out and everything went GREAT!!!

I haven't cheated, my doctor has me on a no/low carb diet, but I have felt the pull to cheat.

I am on day 7 of a 2 week liquid diet. I have not cheated but i will tell you that I do not understand what is up with today. I'm hungrier today than I have been in the last week. It's only 2:00 in the afternoon and I've already had 3 shakes, a ton of Jello and 3 popsicles. I just finished my 3rd shake and man.....I am so hungry.

I won't cheat. I've come too far to even think about it. I've lost 12 lbs already......Keep on keeping on!!! One week to go.

I am 1 week into my 2 week pre op diet! My diet consists of 4 Protein shakes a day plus 6-8 servings of chicken/fish , raw veggies, yogurt. I have not cheated at all but today temptation was showing its ugly face! Just left surgeons office for pre op visit. My test results showed increased liver enzymes ( of course I have a fatty liver). As I was sitting waiting it hit me!! THIS IS REAL!!!! This time next week I will be sleeved!!!! Oh my I never had a real "food funeral" and it hit me like a brick!! The food porn was going crazy thru my mind!!! I actually stopped at wawa!! But NOTHING inside the store was appealing to me! Not even their mint iced coffee that I used to live on!!!! I grabbed 2 hard boiled eggs and a bottle of Water and was on my way!!! What happened to the old me??? Is she gone forever???? Thank goodness!!!! I have no real cravings!!!! Already??? Wow!!!! I'm in TOTAL SHOCK LOL

Yep, I cheated.... A bite here and there. However, I am trying my best to stick to the diet. I lost 11 lbs in 11 days. Not soo bad...and that was with a little cheat here and there. :rolleyes:

A lot of Pre-op People have a " Last meal" . My Last meal was some mexican food, but i stopped less than halfway through becuase i felt so guilty about cheating myself.

I have not cheated but have only lost three lbs and I am on day 7. Doctor wants ten more lbs lost by surgery date 9/19. Told me I need to exercise...walk to lose it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
