Don't beat yourself up! Get right back on that wagon! You won't have a choice but to eat a restricted diet post-op - unless you like having everything come up - that's the lovely part of the surgery. A wonderful tool to help us control what we can and cannot eat!

echo what Kathy said....you WILL have the tool after! Tomorrow is another day {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks Kathy and Mel. Definitely need the hugs. Instead of getting support from my boyfriend, I just got a look of disappointment along with a "I wish you hadn't done that." I know he's concerned, but really?

It honestly gets better. I am done with everything and go for surgery Monday. Yesterday I decided to have a last hotdog and I thought I was gonna croak. I felt awful!! I don't mean guilty, I mean sick and nauseated. I guess my body has just gotten so adjusted to having liquid intake with very little solids. Good luck!!

I don't normally say this, but it is my opinion...I lost 40 lbs before surgery and did not have to do the liquid. However, I was on the liquid and the lean n green for several months on a liquid diet board. It was insane, as I look back on it...One of those things that people do to themselves to get skinny...

I think it is far more reasonable, for the Dr and Nut, to put patients on a diet during the six months, so that they can lose the wait safely, and get into a pattern for post surgery.

After surgery is nothing like the iquid before the operation. THAT'S why we have the surgery. I recommend the lean n green, which is statistically as successful as the all shakes, and much more manageable...

I agree- no need to beat yourself up. Pick yourself up and try again! You'll do marvelously!

It's o.k. You have learned now move on. Keep walking toward the light!!! This is life - we're all human. No tool in your body to help you out. You'll be fine, you'll be GREAT. Now you have the "eater's remorse' when you have the tool you probably won't even want that stuff!

YOU CAN (WILL) DO IT!!!!

I have found people not going through this have a difficult time understanding the cravings, need to chew, and taste something. Everyone here is right, tomorrow is a new day. I still dream about Taco Bell, but now look at it as poison. I hope I can be as honest as you are when I slip. You are going to be just fine!

its o.k your human.. just get back on track, tomorrow is a new day.. its hard but you can do it..

Thanks everyone! Im kinda glad I cheated. Even though it was a small amount, I didnt feel so hot last night and this morning. Yeah, I wont be cheating again.

Sh** happens..dust off and continue on the right path! hugs!

you will be fine:)Its just because you can only have liquids right now it will not be like that forever!

If you could do a "diet" perfectly right now, there would be no need for surgery, eh? Please don't beat yourself up. Just do your best. If you make a mistake forgive yourself and get back on program. Repeat!!
