My surgery date is scheduled for the 12th of October so I started my diet on Sunday. My concern is cheating. Today I stayed within the 1000 calorie limit but I substituted a shake for a salad. I feel so bad about it. Any advice or insight on how to stick to my shakes? It's the after taste that's getting to me.

I am also have surgery on that date. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. But I am not allowed food at all only liquids. I work days so I run around like a nut so I know the food won't bother me. But I just hope I can get 1200 calories in a day. Good luck where are you from. I'm in New York.

I'm from Maryland . My surgeon gave me a target of 800 - 1000 calories a day with a daily meal plan consisting of a shake for Breakfast, a snack, a shake for lunch, another snack, and then 300 calorie or less dinner. I work in an office setting so I'm used to snacking all day but I substituted Water for other Snacks. I've been on this diet since Sunday and I've stayed close to or under 1000 calories each day.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
