So I'm on my 5th day of my two week pre-op liquid diet. My daughter is cooking bacon for the kids Breakfast...... I wanna cry. I had my morning Protein shake...yea NOTHING like bacon :-( ...

Just had to vent....I'm a miserable b****!!!

Put on your shoes and go for a walk! Smell the fresh air and be proud of what you are doing for yourself. Nothing like being good to yourself. Bacon smells good but it doesn't do a whole lot for your wellbeing.

Oh, isn't this awful but yet we will have to face these same things after surgery.

I had my bypass over two weeks ago.

Two days before, I went to the checkout with chicken broth and for some reason the woman in front of me had the belt loaded with pastries that were so frosty and sweet looking and the lady behind me put two half gallons of Friendly's ice cream that just set me off to get teary.

Emotions are a human thing and never be thinking you are alone with all these feelings.

Thanks so much.... I am really emotional right now.. I have family visiting who want to bring a boatload of seafood (fried) over to the house to eat!!! WHAT??? I feel like they are clueless and offer NO SUPPORT!!! Thanks for the support everyone!

I'm in the same boat (my husband and I both. 7 more days!). But be proud of yourself!!!! Be strong!!! You love yourself and your family and that's why you are doing this. Let them eat their crappy garbage food but know that you are strong and CHOOSE not to! :-) hugs!

THANK YOU Itsmekarenlee...

I appreciate your kindness. And you are right!!!
