Im on day 5 of my two week liquid diet and im not doing good at all...today I had a craving for pickles so I bought some baby dills and I know ive eaten 8 of them. I feel like a failure!!! What to do? My surgery is may 6th!!

Just pick yourself up, and realize that we are all human. You will be fine. Just get back on your diet. I was allowed one meal a day and 2 shakes on my pre-op diet, but every doctor is different. You can do it. I am 4.5 weeks out and 33 pounds down. Just keep your mind on the end result.

It's a new day! Get back on your diet path.

I only have a liquid diet the day before surgery. Thank god.

Mines is two weeks...5 protein shakes a day. We are allowed four cheat days. On the chest days we have to drink four protein shakes a day and one meal...smh...I gotta get on track!

you can do it, I promise, I will be worth it. I know it is hard. Just try to keep yourself busy and stay away from temptation as much as possible. At least that's what I did. We are here for you!

You know what, I crave pickles all the time! So you know what I do? I sip a little bit of picke juice. It takes care of it. completely.

Funny fact....I was allowed pickles te first week of my 2 week liquid diet...guess my doc isn't crazy (I ate pickle til I was sick of em!!!!)

What is there in pickles that makes us crave them. I am not a huge pickle fan, but today, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I made some tuna salad and used some of the pickle (the soft part) in it. It was great!

I was also allowed dill pickles during the first week of my two week diet.

You can do it ..Dont beat yourself up just think about the ending results ..

Pickles have Iron and sodium. Its why pregnant ladies crave them for the iron. Have you been taking your multivitimins?
