Hey fellow sleevers ! Went to the movies tonight and I just broke down and ate about a cup of popcorn!! I am on day 6 of 10 did I make a huge mistake !! Was supposed to be on a liquid diet help!!

I don't think what you did is terrible. Just forgive yourself & get back on track!

Girl, the day before my sleeve, I broke and had a hamburger and a milk shake....just had too. No problems. Would really like one now too, but 8 days out, don't think I will try that.

Thanks ! That makes me feel better !! Good luck on your recovery how bad is it?? I am nervous! I have my surgery on Thursday

Well, it been tougher than I ever expected. I don't know what I thought it was going to be like, but this first full week has been rough. It's a total life change all at once and there is no going back after you have it done. People keep telling me it will all be worth it.....time will tell for me. Have to jump back to reality on Monday with back to work and some normalcy . Hoping that will help my mood and sadness I have been having. Good luck.

I'm laughing right now because I'm on day 4 of a 3 week all liquid pre op and we went to the movies today and I did the exact same thing! I think it'll be ok because everything levels out. The main thing is you don't want to gain, and I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Wow 3 weeks..thats a very long time for all liquids

I am laughing right now because I told my daughter today I was really wanting to go to the movies today and eat popcorn!! I am on day 9 of a 2 week liquid diet and it's not the easiest thing to do and I admit to chewing some fritos and spitting them out!! It tasted so good and I know it was disgusting but it did the trick to kill the craving! I know I can't be alone in this dirty little secret! LOL

Now if this would have been done post op I would yell at you. You are fine. Just get back on the horse.

I am so happy to hear I am not the only one that broke down and had some popcorn before my surgery. I go this Monday, February 3 for gastric bypass. I am scared and excited at the same time. I was going to have it done last year and my family talked me out of it, so I had to re-qualify again. This time I’m going through with it.

I hope your family is more supportive of your decision this time. You will at least have us here rooting you on, though!

When u say liquid diet do u mean liver shrinking diet or soup stage as i am going to have liver shrinking diet on 4.2 then 25.2 operation scared but going to try my best

I had liver reducing liquid diet. Clear liquids only, with the exception of celery, cauliflower, broccoli and pickles. Protein drinks, broths, decaf coffee and tea. Awful, but not as bad as what I am on now!!

For me, pre-op was the hardest part of all of this. Do the very best you can and that’s all anyone can ask. It scared me that it was so hard because it made me wonder how.i could ever be successful. I’m doing rather well and with the cravings gone or at least manageable, it is much much easier for me.
