Today is day 9 on my liquid diet and I have not want to cheat at all until TODAY! I start clears yesterday and today has been so hard. I had a girl day to and it was horrible to not be able to eat or drink anything but water! I'm fixing to cheat and my surgery is Monday morning!

You have come to far to cheat now. Don't do it. You do not want to mess up your surgery. You can do this You can do this.

Brush your teeth every time you feel the urge to eat! Nothing taste good with a minty fresh mouth. Do not jeopardize your surgery for a craving. You have come so far don't stop now!! The liquid diet is hard and if it were easy we wouldn't need weight loss surgery would we? I know it is hard having that internal struggle but you can beat it!! Do not let food control you anymore, you got this!!

Just when you want to give up, think about all the work that went into this process. I know it is hard, but anything hard is always worth it in the long run. If you need a change in what you are drinking try GNC Lean 25 shakes. They have 200 calories for 2 scoops and I usually only use one. Very filling and absolutely delicious. Maybe changing things up will help the craving to cheat. Just remember, you can do this and we are all here to help support you. Just think of it as a marriage. You're new lifestyle is a "til death do you part" situation.

Hello, With your surgeon does Clear Liquids mean only Water? With mine it means light liquids not any milk products and no red dye. I must drink Gatorade the last thing before 12 midnight.

You are only two days out! This is amazing for you! This is the last total crap diet you will ever have to face alone, without your sleeve to help! Believe me, post op can have different kinds of challenges, but there was nothing more challenging for me than pre-op, in terms of my head continuing its wicked, whiny little snot-nosed cry to "feed me!" Your next phase will be a wild success!

I know exactly how you feel! I'm on day 4 of 7 and yesterday was really bad. I'm supposed to be on liquids only, but I caved and ate a can of white meat chicken with some hot sauce (weird combo, I know). I chewed it until it was almost gone and it IS pure Protein with no carbs, so I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I still feel guilty though.

Stay strong! You're so close. Don't jeopardize it now. Think of being slimmer and feeling better - that's the only thing that's been keeping me sane!

Thank you for the motivation I'm really starting to realize just how dependent I am on food. This process is painful physically & mentally. But I CAN DO THIS!! ( gonna keep repeating that to myself )

So I feel like I've gotta eat a salad or something.. I've been doing 80 ounces of water a day, protein shakes & little bits of granola, if I feel myself getting light headed. But I have never craved a salad & grilled chkn breast like I do at this moment. I get my sleeve on 4/25/14... I feel like I need to eat NOW

Guys,mine am 2 days out and cheated....I had like 10 goldfish crackers at the movies, 2 slices of deli ham, and a bite of hamburger helper. Wtf is wrong with me. I'm seriously starving. Not to mention I'm only down 6 lbs. ugh...

I am seriously jealous of those of you who get to eat anything...I'd love to have a salad, or piece of chicken...something. Agh. Tomorrow I HAVE to be perfect.

Keep going!!! You can do it!
