Hello all! I have been reading from this website for months now and tonight I decided to join in. I have my RNY surgery planned in about 3 weeks and i'm a ball of nerves... Almost to the point of delaying my surgery. I haven't cancelled it but man this is tough.... I have been on a food tour for the past 2 weeks since my surgery date was planned, "I won't be able to eat this for awhile" is what i'm telling myself. I guess need a little support before I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Please help a newbie!!!

Sad news incoming.... I cheated day 5 into my liquid prep... I had a couple of bites of salad and steak... no dressings no steak sauce, just enough to get a little taste. I feel horrible I cheated!!! I do feel a lot better in my the liquid diet but I was eating too many popsicles and sugar-free jellos (2 at a time) just to feel ok. I have been religious with my protein shakes and I have been eating won-ton soup minus the win-tons. But, no matter what I eaten or drink I can never feel full....Please help me stay strong!!!

You must remain focused. Yes you cheated... start over and don't cheat again, as you could possibly delay your surgery. During my liquid diet, know if I messed up could delay my surgery kept me focused. You can do it... its all mental!

Don’t cancel! It is amazing and you won’t regret it!
Try to start weening off coffee and carbs if you can over next couple of weeks- it helps!— do you have a pre op diet and if yes when and how long?

The process is a bit tough in the beginning but nothing that isn’t temporary - gas pains were tough for 2-3 days. Once on foods it’s really great and such a motivator to watch your body change.

Don’t cancel- for anything!

Hey I am from Boston as well! Congrats on your amazing accomplishments by the way you are an inspiration!! Where about a in Boston are you??

I'm not an New Englander, just a humble Midwesterner but I will say there seem to,be quite a few Bostonians here. You might look up Coppola Bus, he will be having his surgery within the next week or 2. At any rate, welcome and please stay awile, we are all very nice people on Bariatric Pal??
