So I begin my 10 day pre-op diet and it only lasted a couple of hours. I feel a little pathetic, then again I am living on LIQUIDS! You have got to be kidding me. I tell myself I am doing this for my health and sanity...but DAMN this liquid thing sucks. Now I am second guessing my decision to go through with this. I need guidance and a little motivation. Does anyone have suggestions to make the pre-op diet easier?

BANDSTERS UNITE..sista in trouble :help:

The support here is great, thanks to all of you for commenting.

Dee Dee,

How bad do you want this? Start over...this time make sure you drink your slim fast, drink lots of water, sugarfree drinks, after three days I was allowed to have a small green salad...I had to give up one slim fast to eat that, but it is so worth it...and remember fat free dressing...YOU CAN DO THIS....HANG IN THERE....IT WILL GET EASIER...

<p>It has been X amount of days and the pre-op diet did get easier after day 3... until today. I have no idea what came over me, maybe it was the fact that in 3 days I can no longer eat as much as I can now but I PIGGED out!! UGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! My tummy hurts, I am gonna gain 5 pounds I know it! Now I am fearful that Dr. Ortiz won't perform the surgery becuase of bad judgement and weakness on my part. So I now have 3 days to loose... dare i say it...8 pounds!!! Now realistically I know that won't happen but I will try to loose something. Somebody say something to make me feel better..ugggg. I was down to 217 now I am back to 222 starting at 224. My scale flucuated a lot so now I can't trust the scale! Lesson Learned..DON'T TRUST THE SCALE!!!</p>

I can definitely relate!!!!!! Hang in there...I live off of sugar free gum. I even slipped by chewing a cookie and then spit it out just so that I could taste it.LOL! Say to yourself"135 lbs HERE I COME"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dee Dee.....It's ok to suck, just don't swallow.

I'm kidding of course! There were just sooooooo many ways we could go with the " I suck " statement! Thought I'd add a little levity!

I know it's was too easy...
