I'm glad i found this forum.

I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet and have cheated so far. Teacher's Goodbye lunches and Valentines day. No help whatsoever. Today I did really well. Only a few pieces of chocolates and 1 Peanut Butter cup from my students and 1 piece of bread with my broth. I'm glad I didn't have more. But it was making me nervous that I might have failed completely even though it's early.

I keep having to remind myself that this is in preparation for my surgery and in prep for my new life and that this is NOT a quick diet. I can't keep cheating. I've officially delegated my friend and fiancé to watch me and keep me accountable.

This is super hard!! Good luck everyone!!

I felt the same way when I first started. I wanted foods that I haven't touched or thought about in months! Lol... That's how I knew the shakes were getting to me in a not so good way. But I'm on day 9 & going strong. My eye is on the prize. You can do it. : )

Hehehe good! You know I have my eye on you! And I know you will do good.

As far as the advise you get here about the diet, procedure etc. always do what YOUR doctor asks of you.

After all, are you going to tell him "well this chick online whom I never meet before told me" "go ahead it'll be fine"

The fact of the matter is, its hard I know, I did it!

And I see people everyday coming here knowing full well what their instructions are! Asking for permission to cheat...

It's what we do we are like addicts looking for a way to get what we want despite knowing its wrong . :)

Who are you and what did you do to the real laura-ven????

Oh I'm the same girl I was a couple of months ago!!

I have never advocated "cheating"

But I'm not ever going to judge someone for their

"Weakness" when it comes to pre op or post op diets because, face it, we all came here because of the power that food has (had) over of us!

:)

On that note Stef,

How's it going? You are what three weeks now?

Are you back to work?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
