I'm a week in and I haven't cheated at all. Sure, I've wanted to. Everyone wants to...My husband ordered lots of pizza from Dominos the other day and I sat there with a piece of pizza up to my nose just inhaling the good scents...haha. But, I didn't eat it! :) I looooovvveeeeee pizzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:scared2:

Sad to say I have cheated a few times...For the most part been healthy type foods. Had to have my gallbladder out last Friday and being on a liquid diet that day was pretty hard, since couldn't make my broth in the car, drink a cold shake, or have jello...So ate a few fries and a teeny tiny bite of my husband's hamburger. Hopefully my cheating doesn't cancel my surgery for Wednesday. Going to the fair today and gonna resist the tempation to get back on track.

Did not cheat, kind of liked the shakes and got used to beef broth. Did not really like the chicken broth, tho'. Jello and pop cycles were my best friends.

The beef broth sure did clean me out, too!

Hang in there - you can do it! I had the hardest time when I was around others who were eating or if the food and dishes weren't cleaned up right away. My family was really good and either ate outside on our patio, in our dining room where i couldn't see them or we shut my bedroom door and put a towel underneath it. For some reason my scent of smell was really good. I started liquid 5 days early because I didn't know how hard it would be and I didn't want to start it during the work week. Turns out I made it 19 days with no cheating. And I lost 15 lbs pre-op . I'm down a total of 24 lbs betwen 6.5.10 (start of liquid) and today. Just think about how great you are going to feel when it starts coming off!! Good luck!!

PS - I was having a hard time craving meat..porkchops, burgers, you name it. I thought that was crazy on a Liquid Protein diet. Turns out my dietician answered it - I was craving sodium. I drank a cup of broth a day and that really helped. So has adding crystal light lemonade.

I am currently on Day 12 of my 14 day (4 Protein Shakes & Water ONLY! 800 calorie) Pre-Op Diet and I may be damned to Hell for this after reading from all you faithful that were able to stick to it LOL but...... I have cheated :eek: I had one day at a birthday party that was just bad and I have cheated no more than once a day with things I have read most were able to have (grilled chicken, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello & sugar free popsicles). However, I have managed to lose 23 lbs so I hope all will be good for surgery Friday :) By the way, it is my intention to tough it out till Friday from this point!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
