I feel terrible!!! The weekend was so hard is have 9 days and I'm completely back on track but i'm so worried!!! (my pre-op liquids is for 14 days) I already feel like i failed...

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????

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?

I'm like the only person who did not get put on a two week pre op diet jus a one week pre op diet

My Dr only requires clear liquid 24 hrs prior to surgery

I am just starting and on day 1. Want to cry and cheat but I am nervous doc will open me up, not be happy and not do the surgery
