Liquid diet cheaters



Recommended Posts

This has been the absolute worst week ever. I cheated everyday on this diet. Not by much though. I'm supposed to have 3-5 high Protein Shakes a day, I miss my food funeral because it wasn't just a food funeral, it was how I are everyday...

Day 1- Don't even ask

Day 2- Grilled chicken patty with bottom bun

Day 3- Same as day 2

Day 4- 5 pieces of beef Jerky

Day 5- just started but it isn't looking good

Getting sleeved on Wednesday, someone get me in check please

Come on you can do this. I did it for gods sake!

It is not the end of the world, it's just a few days of cutting out solids.... Drink all five of those shakes. And don't cheat!

My word!

I cheated as well on my liquid diet. Try your hardest to stay on track today. The other thing I did was drank a bottle of magnesium citrate. You need to stay focused today through your surgery date Wednesday. I know how hard it is. If I did it. You can do it. Don't risk the chance of them canceling your surgery because of your cheating. Good luck, it's worth it. I'm 11 months out and have lost 115 lbs.

Would you rather eat now or have piece of mind that you did everything you could to prepare for a successful surgery and smooth recovery? Personally I am not afraid to admit I was scared shitless of being operated on but I felt calm knowing my body was the absolute most prepared It could be. Now start fresh with a new attitude, punch today in the face, and quit eating ha.

I walked/jogged everyday to try to burn off those extra calories. I must say, I'm down 6 pounds already from day 1!!!

That's not necessarily true. I cheated as well. More than one time. I am so focused now. I am almost a year out and have lost 115lbs. I workout all the time and eat sensibly.

Don't give up. Stay focused. You can do this!!

One of the things that my Dr. told me was the main reason he made folks go through the pre-op liquid diet, was to give them some time to fully understand their relationship with food and eating. He felt that if they could reconcile their relationship with food pre-op then post-op their chances for success long term are much better. It's like quitting smoking or any other bad habit, cold turkey isn't going to always the be best route. The pre-op diet gives you that opportunity to get your head in the right spot so that post-op your recovery will be a lot better. While I can't say that you are or aren't ready for the sleeve, since I don't know you personally, I do think you really have to think more in the long term. Being sleeved is tough and it is a hard thing to go through just on its own. You have to divorce your relationship with food and learn that eating is not a hobby or a way of life, it is only to sustain your life and that seems to be a hard thing for a lot of people to do. We all have our weaknesses or else we wouldn't be here, but that doesn't excuse the fact that you are about to go through a pretty significant life change and need to do so with your eyes wide open. You are either ready for it or you aren't. I hope that you get back on the plan that the Drs. have set out for you and I wish you nothing but success in the journey.

Yep, I agree.. It's ass kickin' time!

You have three days to zone out and go into super mode. Trust me.. If we can do it, you can too. Need to set your mind right and focus on your health and the reason you're having this surgery. Zone, zone, zone.. It's time for a chance for a better you!

Now move it! .. Just not your hand to mouth though :P

Oh please. A completely liquid diet is extremely tough and before surgery (when you know that you can eat anything) it is very difficult. A few cheats here and there does not mean you will not be successful post surgery-it means you're human and obviously if strict/extreme diets alone could change your relationship with food then none of us would need to be sleeved in the first place. I do agree that you have to change your relationship with food in order to be successful long term, but you slipped up a few times, JC. Move on and stick as closely as you can for all liquids for the next 2 days prior to surgery! (I'm also on the 20th!) Good luck to you!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
