I'm posting because y'all have become a great source of support for me.

I am on Day 3 of my 14-day Pre-op Diet and I am feeling physically ill right now.

I fell off the wagon tonight. I'm supposed to have 2 Protein drinks and one sensible meal per day.

Today I had one drink, a chicken caesar salad for lunch, and a turkey sandwich, with frito corn chips, slice of cherry pie with scoop of vanilla ice cream for dinner. Is your mouth gaped open? I feel so sick. I WILL get back on track tomorrow.

I'm under a lot of stress at work and personally. I realized that I ate today to comfort myself and to handle the stress.

Then EUREKA! It hit me again-- this is how I've gotten into the condition I'm in now.

Y'all, pray for me. Please tell me how you're handling your pre-op diet!

You'll be ok because you recognize what you've done. No worries, just get back to it and don't be discouraged. Before you know it, your habits will change for the better. Stay focused & good luck to you.

My best thoughts going out for these days to fly by for you and to keep you on track.

When I was pre-op and felt like cheating HARD I would get out of my house in some way or I'd call a friend and talk talk talk until I was distracted. It's not easy, but so worth it.

You've got this. You do.

I too fell off the pre-op diet wagon, fortunately I was able to limit myself to eating only lean Protein. Work to get back on track, it is soooo worth it!!

To me, the pre-op diet was harder than the surgery and recovery. But 1 week post-op, I could tell that mentally, things had changed. I no longer obsessed over certain flavors and I have the "need" to eat every 2 hours.

Im praying God will see you through all your struggles lean on him. Through him you can do anything!!! Have a great day.
