Pre-op diet impossible

I have no will power. I can't even stay on this diet for a week without cheating. I hope it gets better after surgery. I'm just so hungry!

I'm adding you to the top of prayer list based on pure honesty! This is what I dread more than anything. If I had enough will power would I actually need this surgery? Hang in there, though. The end is in site! All the best to you!

Thanks so much for the encouragement. It just seems like swimming the Atlantic or something. Prayers welcome!

I know it is hard.....remember, the closer you stick to your pre-op diet the easier it will be for you during and after surgery. I made sticking to my pre-op diet my goal. I have my surgery tomorrow. I am so excited! My thought and prayers go with you as you start and continue on with your journey! Dee

hey there im new and my date is in 1 week july 8th this is my 3rd try, 1st i had the flu then 2nd in april i hurt my foot, now this is my 3rd and i did my check in on this this past friday and my doctor said to me you know you have gained 7 lbs since the last time i seen you it hurt so bad, and i left that office right to a buffet table, but it was only salad i worked to hard to get were i am not but i understand about no will power, i can not stay on my either :( all i want is sweet tea and mcdee french fries or a slice of pie. i can say do this: drink your water as much as you can, eat yogurt when you want to eat. NO SODAS no fried foods and eat out of a 10 0z cup every 2 hours if you have to but dont over do it, you can see the light through the cracks WE ARE ALMOST THERE.

I hope it goes well for you Beth. I start mine next Monday. I'm starting to freak out a little.

OH beth...I totally hear you! I have been miserable on mine! Surgery for me is next Monday. I have cheated twice, but I made sure they were with high protein food and not much. I think our "HEAD" hunger is getting the best of us! I will keep you in my thoughts as we fight this battle together! GOOD LUCK!

we have the same surgery date.

How are you doing on your diet? Are you having any problems being faithful? Good luck!

well, like my doc said, "if you cheat, cheat with meat" and I've kinda gone by that. Every once in a while I'll get a craving, but i pop in a protien shake and that's over in a jiffy. Are you keeping up?
