I have worked for months to get to this point... My surgery is in five days... This liquid preop diet is getting to me... I live with 4 other people and all their cooking is making me crazy... I was lighting candles in my room so I couldn't smell it... I haven't cheated and I won't... I just needed to vent

It's hard but totally worth it. Just stick to your plan knowing that it's for your health and safety.

Thank you... I'm trying... You're right... Some days are just harder than others

So true !!!

You are doing great......gut check time is what the pre-op diet should be called. LOL.

It's the "how bad do I really want to do this thing" period.

I can say that it was the toughest part for me. Everything that came later was much easier to deal with. Sure there are periods when my scale readings will just hang up for a few days....two weeks or more at a time.....but then start dropping again. I tend to get antsy during these times.

You are doing great.....stay the course and know that you'll be back to a normal....be it a new normal....in just a few weeks. By the beginning of my second month post-op it just seemed like everything fell into place. The abdominal hernia that was repaired during the sleeve surgery started feeling normal and I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's been a cakewalk ever since.

Speaking of walking......maybe you can go out for walks during the normal times those other folks are cooking & eating.

It definitely is the how much do I want to do this phase lol ughh but I feel back on track today. It's so nice having a place to go where I can vent and share what I'm going through . Thank you so much

Be strong. You can and will do this!

@@BrightEyes42 - the pre-op is hard but keep your eye on the prize and go walk, like Dub said, or take a long bath...this will be a thing of the past before you know it

Mind over matter you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Hard work pays off you got this!

That was a tough time for me as well. Wishing you all the strength you'll need to get through this time. You can do it.

You guys are so supportive of someone you've never met it's so great to see

@@BrightEyes42 I am a few hours post op and just told my husband that I'm so grateful my dr had me do the 2 week liquid diet. I feel like it's help me mentally prepare so I can focus on physical healing after. It's absolutely worth it. Hang in there, it'll go by fast!

Awesome job so far! You've got it now. Best of luck to you.

This is a great place to scream or yell then do whatever you need to. You're so close you're so close. You've got this you can do it.
