I want a sooooooda sooo bad!! lol

Awwww... I heard that you can have "Flat" pop... I gave up my Pepsi on Super Bowl..Sunday. .. I have had a couple sips here n there.. but I do miss it.... memories. .

Flat soda...yuck!!! I wanna feel the bubbles, the tingling lol

Hey how you doing?

Are you over your soda meltdown?

This liquid diet .. (only protein shakes) is killing me... keep telling myself mind over matter.....but it is hard.. another 11 days. Wow..

I'm.doing good. Yes my soda melt down was hard my mind was going insane, but I got over it. Just preparing myself for my next one and how to over come it.

Oh my, I know how u feel! It is hard, the only way to make it easier is to just think of today. That's how I was able to get through the liquids stage. And the moment I didn't focus like that, I lost it.

Hang in there, it will be so worth it, I promise it will be. This is a big sacrifice to the awesome body and good health you will gain from it.

U got this! U can do it! Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts!!

If it helps... The main thing that made me Not cheat that first month was the fear of doing any physical damage to myself inside... Cause Mexico is far away and no one here knows anything about plication lol. Maybe that will help motivate? Just a suggestion on how I made it through hell month;)

As always thank you for the support. .from you both... I just wish I didn't have to do this shake only for the next week.. I think I am making it worse for me...I am feeling really weak...so I am laying around instead of making myself busy... I am just looking forward to going to bed everyday and work tomorrow. ... my day will go by faster then this weekend... I am just a mess...I never in a million years did I ever think I would miss chewing. ..? Or real food.... I thought I was stronger than this. My "cheats" have not been that bad. I have made eggs 2 times in the last 6 days. That was my big cheat. Feel very guily.... but not hungry. .I just want this week to go very fast....

On the flip side I have lost 6 pounds..

I am 239 today. MAYBE by next Monday I will be 9 pounds gone and go into this at 230.. I feel better now that I have "Vented"..I am Sorry I am being a big baby....

Not a big baby, and if that's the case I'm in the big baby club too lol

It is hard, I think its the hardest thing to do when your whole life y have been doing something else.

Yaaay for your lbs lost, use that as motivation for your daily intake.

Before u know it, the big day will come!

Stay strong and encouraged, you got this!!

I honestly feel for you. It's weird how drs

Oops have different post op diets. After day four I could begin to add full liquids which included cream soups, shakes, yogurt, sf puddings, broth, sf Popsicles and of course sf jello. None of these hurt me at all I just couldn't eat much at a time. Love mush sp... So don't feel bad about your cheats... I think your diet is a tad strict . Not that I'm saying anything

Negative about it, just don't be hard on

Yourself! You guys are doing great!

I can't thank you two enough for taking the time to respond. .. I feel alone... because I dont know a soul that has ever had any wls... so when I have my thin mother telling me.. "just dont think about it" drives me crazy...... I dont understand why every doctor has different pre-op diets... mine.. is unfair. .lol. ... compared to everyone else... but I will keep on trucking. I added a picture so you can put a face to the tears...lol. I thought it would make me feel better.. NOT REALLY... tomorrow 7 days and counting....bare with me...

Glad we can be of some help, even if its just to listen to you. We will get through this journey together. Feel free to contact me for anything

Will keep you in my prayers, and when I say that trust me that I will. Know that God loves you, cares for you and will be with you every step of the way, just the way he has been with me

BIG AMEN !

I completely agree with above! I didn't tell anyone but my husband so I felt

Like I was in this unknown hell and had no one to talk too or support me. I kept it secret so I had to hide my tears from those im closest to. So I am totally here for you too. Trust me when I say that I promise in a couple more weeks your hormones and body will balance out and all this emotional turmoil will be a distant memory replaced by excitement and positivity;)

Thank you so ... so ...so much Bos123.. I have been on the fence about telling my best girlfriends.. we are very close..been friends since junior high school. .and still are justbas close..2 of them live on the street...I am not sure... I was thinking maybe calling them on Sunday night ..before the surgery. I am not sure why I am so scared..they love me ..and I know they will support me...but......

I took a sip of a Dr pepper which I was addicted to before surgery when I was about 3 months out and YUK YUK YUK! Tasted totally nasty. I drink alot of tea now and that's better for me plus I just can't stand the taste of soda anymore
