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.

You are not ready to have the sleeve stay home if it does not work now it will not work after.

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.

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
