I'm on day 3 of my clear liquid only diet. I'm starving and exhausted. I cheated yesterday and had a grilled cheese, today a banana and a brownie. I feel horrible and guilty.

Any words of encouragement..

Hi put it behind you and start again to make good choices, now that you realize what you have done do no continue to dwell on it, tell your self I am going to take one day at a time , and remember why you are going through this, we are not all perfert and we all make mistakes, the key is that you know what mistakes you have made and you know what you need to do to correct your actions.

i cheated on my pre op too and felt really guilty but now im 5 mo out and over 100 lbs down, just stay focused on the goal ahead, we all have road blocks but just keep your eye on the prize! its all in your head. There's going to be a lot of head hunger in your future but just make sure you are constantly drinking it'll help surpass it! and if you can have any Protein Water in your diet, try that cuz like someone else said, the protein will definitely help curb the appetite

Try not to think of it as a 'diet'. Think of it as preparing for a surgery.

You want to give your surgeon the best chance of doing a safe surgery, and give yourself the best chance at a smooth recovery.

Start fresh, now, today. You can do this! Wonderful things are ahead for you, just keep your eye on the prize!

good luck!

If you just can't seem to get through, talk to your doctor and see if he'll allow a small amount of lean Protein. I was allowed three ounces of lean meat a day and it was just what I needed to get through.

I should add that my friend had the same diet you did, called in and said I'm struggling and was only then allowed the meat.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
