I don't think I can do this anymore. I thought it was because I was drinking the same shake flavor every time so I got new flavors and I still cannot stand them!! My surgery is May 10th. I just want a piece of chicken and some corn. Like so bad. A piece of bread. Some cucumber. Mmm. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm a wuss.

Call your docs office. Mine, who is VERY strict- crazy so compared to what I've read here, allowed for raw non starchy veggies plain. Helps a ton!

I am by no means condoning cheating...........and the best approach is to stick to your plan's diet............but.......if you have to cheat don't do it with corn or anything with any carbs....chicken or something like that wouldn't be the worst choice..............

But you can do this there's just a few more days, you got this!!

Hang in there.

You are in the toughest times right now....yet you are day 8 with just a few more to go.

Hang in there.

Dig deep.

Have you tried the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein powder ?

Maybe you can change up your choice of calorie free drinks......or even freeze some and make popsicles out of them....anything all except caving in.

You can do this.

​Your not a wuss, please hang in there! Call your bariatric team and let them know you are struggling. I did and they added a few specific veggies to help during the tough moments. They would rather have you call them then go off the plan, you can do this!

Hang in there!! Don't give up the worst has past. Ask your surgeon if there is anything else you can eat. I know mine allows non-starchy vegetables and/or plain yogurt.

Thanks for the support guys.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
