Why Cant I Just Be Good?



Recommended Posts

I got told yesterday they moved my surgery up a month so my surgery is September 28th! I started my pre op diet yesterday and today I had to take my son to the dr which is 2 hrs away and what did I do. I CHEATED already!!! I am so frustrated with myself! I have to do the Protein Shakes twice a day and small meal at night and tons of Water. Please help me for I am a weak person and don't know how I'm going to get thru this! I don't want to ruin this but I feel like a total failure already!

you are not a failure! If this was easy we would have all lost the weight by not being tempted. Just start over, every meal is a new chance to make the right choice. next time try to plan ahead and take some stuff with you. Good luck!

My surgery date is 10/1. Today Is my second day of my preop which is 4 or 5 Optifast shakes a day plus one Protein Bar a day. Two weeks of this. Yesterday all I had was 2 drinks and 1 Protein bar. I didn't really feel hungry. Today I had the same. But... After food shopping I had 2 slices of deli meat chicken. While cooking dinner I had a half a slice of tomatoe 2 slices of cucumber and a total of about 2 florets of roasted cauliflower. I did cheat but not too bad and not on bad food. But it took the edge off while cooking dinner.

I totally admit I cheated during my prep. I was supposed to have 4-5 Optifast shakes and only sugar free jell and such. But when I cheated I not ate Protein and I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks! Just get back on the saddle again and start again!

I am on day 3 also. I would love some meat right now. I am trying not to give in. It's hard. You can do it. Think abuout why you are doing this and the end goal. Ask yourself how mad you would be if the cheating stopped your surgery, and then decide if it's worth cheating. I have 11 more days to go and plan an asking myself that a lot.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
