Tempted to cheat during liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

I’m on my second day of my 2week liquid diet before my surgery on the 23rd. Man, I’m struggling, but I haven’t cheated at all. When my husband was cooking supper, I thought I was going to lose it. I held my composure. Any one else cheat or wanted to?

Can you go for a walk while he is cooking and eating? Or maybe go to the gym? Or go to another room/floor to watch the news?
Something so you don't have to smell it. LOL

Yeah! And if you can't walk (weather, etc.) go for a drive and crank the tunes while he's cooking. I think the smell of food would be harder to get through vs. just seeing it. Good luck, you can do this!

Thank all of you who replied! I know I’ll make it, I just had to rant. Hearing from people who are in the same shoes helps tremendously!

Vent away!!!!

I am kind of lucky. My hubby goes out on the road a few days after my surgery, so it will be just me and my son. My neighbor already offered to have him over for dinner that next week that I will be on liquids so I don't have to cook food. LOL

Funny story..... I was on my last 3 days of my two week all liquid before the V Sleeve. Hurricane on the way so the plan was to stock up on the food for everyone if we loose power for a few days. So bacon is on the list. I just lost it. The smell just so good and I could not cheat with only 3 days left till surgery. SO I LICKED IT!!!!! LMAO I didn't eat it, RIGHT!! But it help kill the craving for eating it. We all find ways to get the craving under control.

In case any of you are still on your liquid phase, my nutritionist told me to heat up my pre-mixed chocolate Protein Drink like a hot chocolate. I did it yesterday at work, and it was amazing! Actually a lot better than regular hot chocolate. Also, with it being cold outside, the heated up Protein was very calming and soothing. I just took my time and sipped it while I worked. I'm a high school librarian, and my students were cracking up at me for making such a big deal out of heated up chocolate protein. Lol Whatever gets me through, right?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
