Ok I know that I'll be on my liquid diet starting September 12th (09/30 surgery date). Did anyone else (no pun intended or harm) pig out on food before their scheduled diet? I have never wanted so many different foods in my life. I don't even like McDonalds yet I bought a cheeseburger and fries today. What the hell is going on here!? I'm feeling like I need to indulge or soar my oats as if I'm getting married or something. Am I the only person who is experiencing this?

not quite he same thing but ever since I decided to go for surgery ( I haven't even seen my doctor yet!) I have not been careful with how I eat. I have been eating whatever I want. I feel so bad about it. I really need to get a grip. HELP!!!!

Lovedxjesus I feel your sentiments exactly. I think its just a mind thing but after surgery you have no choice but to eat right

I know you are right Racene. I just have to work hard and remember that this is a second chance for me. I know I can do it...I just need to get my mind right.

Yes. The last weekend before my liquid fast (which started 9/1 so I'm on day 3 now) I went nuts. But by Sunday night, I was so over eating and eager to start the liquid diet (which I'm struggling with now).

I've been on the liquid diet for just under 2 weeks now I htink its been 10 days. And it is so hard. BUT gotta keep your eye on the prize. I cheated the first day and stole 3 fries off my friends plate at lunch but I think I will be forgiven that. After the first few days it got easier.

Thank you for all the support. I'm trying to deal with outside stress and as we all know with stress comes the emotional eating. Please pray for me because I'm not a quitter.

Bless your heart ranece. It is hard. I did the same thing. Before I started my diet it was No Holds Bar. Nothing was off limits and I wanted to try a little bit of everything. My own bon voyage party. I did my liquids before surgery and lost a bit of weight (which was the goal) and no harm done. I'm 8 days post and glad I had all my favorites before hand.

I posted this same thing when I decided to have surgery. I felt like I wanted to eat everything. It lasted a few weeks but now Im so over food...fast food.. my weakness. Surgery probably in November so Im sure I will go thru that phase again.

I'm having surgery on September 30 as well. I've been having the same cravings with a lot of different types of foods I know I won't ever eat again. I don't know if it's right or wrong. I'm still following my diet more days than I'm not and I'm still losing weight. I start my preop diet on September 15 and I'm very nervous about it. How about you?

Yes I'm terrified but I will no longer be a diabetic and I can go to six flags next year and ride all the rides. By the way I live ten blocks from six flags and I have never gone. Why you ask? Tooooo Fat!!
