I need to lose 20 lbs by my pre op date, june 27th. I started my diet last week on Monday. NO rice, Pasta, fast food, sweets, teas or sodas.I did excellent throughout the week and I lost 2 lbs!! Yesterday, I went to my sisters house and slept over there and I ate BBQ, twix and today I had 2 slices of pizza. I feel so disappointed w/ myself and feel so guilty for cheating. I just needed to vent, any helpful tips or comments please feel free to leave. Any advice welcomed, Thank you.

I will say to you what others say to me. Don't be hard on yourself, it took us along time to get where we are. Changes will not happen overnight. Tomorrow is a new day and it will be a great one.

You are not the only one who has messed up. You can do it. :-)

I have to say I have been very hard on myself. I started liquid diet 2 wks before surgery then a week before only Clear liquids and I lost 16 lbs.

The point of losing weight before surgery is to shrink your liver. If your surgery isn't until 6/27 you still have time to continue to lose by cutting back on your calories via cutting back carbs, sugars and fats. Start eating more Proteins, veggies and fruits and supplement your daily intake by substituting one meal a day with a Protein Shake. That's what my nutritionist has me doing. You've already kicked yourself in the pants so now it's time to turn it around and do what you need to do to make the surgery as safe as possible for yourself. So from now on when you want something that isn't a good choice...ask yourself...is this worth the chance of my liver not being in the best shape for surgery? Helps me every time.

I'm going to tell you a secret. I love eating & soda. When I started this diet April 30, 2012. I had soda once and it was only because I had gotten KFC for my 2 year old. Don't think I drank the entire cup. I had maybe 4 sips and I never had soda again. Soda isn't healthly even for a person with no weight problem. One time ok but one day then the next day. Don't repeat it,and keep with your diet. Think that you will be healthly soon,but if you have in mind you will only eat it once then the next day when you have surgery would you think the same ? Get your mind off food. Being healthly is better then being over weight. I'm sorry that's how I feel. I want you to think about it maybe surgery isn't what you need now. Some people just need a nutrionist to help them learn to eat,and not surgery. I have a friend that's really thin,and she was over 200lbs but she has a nutrionist. She has kept the weight off for over 3 years.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
