I am here with you!!! I am SO NOT perfect! I am on a 30 day pre op diet!!! IT SUCKS! I am frustrated.

It seems that I slip up easily!! The other day was the biggest..... I had a torilla' date=' it was small 5 inches. BLAH!!! Today I had a bite of Pirate Booty, that my daughter was having and coffee!!! What gives? Isn't this like asking a cocaine addict not to use, when its sitting in the cabinet? Hard to give up food when its in the kitchen!!! Right?[/quote']

I took all of my 'temptation foods' out of my house, literally and boxed them up and put them in the garage or gave them away. It's helped quite a bit. We aren't perfect, just take it one meal at a time and drink lots of fluids (my choice is to always add crystal light) stay strong! We can do this!!!

I had a few slip ups and a few guilty pleasures (a tiny strip of pepperoni French bread pizza). I still managed to lose 45 pounds and surgery went off without a hitch! Don't get down on yourself. Each day is a new start! You can do this!

Hello,

Thank you for the support!! I hope to do this too!!!! I have don't any of my fav foods around. But it seems i have adapted to eat food that my daughter eats. She is only one so its not much, but tempting none the less. It's hard!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I really need it!!!

Best,

Sannah

Yesterday I got in about 70 oz of Water and Tylenol or ibuprofen...I feel a little better today...well hopefully the headaches are less today. I talked to my NUT and she said try an small apple or a fat free low carb yogurt in the evening to help. I didn't do that but the Tylenol helped.

Had my preop visit w surgeon yesterday and he said all is on track and good to go, 2 wk countdown begins!!! :-)

Okay' date=' so I am on day 11 of my 28 day pre op diet and (pardon my swearing) the **** is hitting the fan! Yes, I really want this, yes I know the deal with the liver, but no, I have not been perfect. I emailed one of the medical assistants at my surgeon's office who had the sleeve within the last year and all she could say was to get back on track. No admitting she herself struggled or cheated a little. I need someone who gets it! I am HURTING. I literally start hurting in my stomach and shaking. At that point, I have to grab a spoonful of Peanut Butter to calm my system down. I have 3 small children and I am home alone with them during the day. I simply can't afford to pass out! I really feel like I will. The medical community just says to stick to it but what about when this happens? Someone help please. I have lost 22 pounds already but I need to get to 35. I don't want to mess this up but I don't want to pass out either. This is sucking so bad. I just don't have anywhere to t.u rn and I'm frustrated!![/quote']n

I am to start my 14 day preop diet on Monday the 19th. I am sooo scared! I've tried a trial run and was miserable. I relieved to see that I'm not alone. I will be on day 4 on Thanksgiving : /!

      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!

      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!!
