CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS

[KristenLe 5,979]

Ok, be honest....has anyone cheated even a little on the pre-op? It is day 5 and I even had a great day......BUT, I got home and next thing you know, I had 2 potato chips with dip and a meatball! I am annoyed with myself. I have 5 more days to go and I KNOW 4th of July will be hard. Sigh.

Try to select Protein if you have to cheat. You need to avoid carbs - as your body will come out of ketosis and you don't want that to happen (you'll be back at day 1). Be sure to have things on your diet handy at all times. It's very difficult but you can do it!

Don't beat your self up, it happens. I have 4 days left and I've stuffed up a couple of times just my habit. When making food for my siblings and I taste it to make sure it's cooked enough, and then I realise 'oh ****'. Can't really do much after you've swallowed it. As long as your making the effort and don't just ride the whole day off from a little slip up you'll be fine I reckon. What date if your surgery??

Ok, thank you! So, do you think I screwed it up with the two chips and dip? I have 5 days left..........

On the good side, I bought a pair of shorts to go to a Sporting KC game around Father's Day (because none of mine fit), and now I am holding them up as I walk around!!

@@Twinmom07 No - you didn't screw it up! You didn't really have many carbs.

That's great about the shorts!!! Just don't lose them in public! Lol

Just make sure it's Protein and for cooking for the husband n kids I have too too but they fix their own plate, I make it n leave the kitchen lol its the down times when I'm not busy that gets me.
