Guilty, guilty, guilty

Ok, I cheated today. I am so sick of the nasty protein shakes so today I mixed up some sugar free/fat free pudding. I know it's not on the liquid diet but I only had one small serving - and it tasted sooo good! I bet it would help the shakes if I could put some of the pudding mix powder in them. I am bad

Oh Please, Guilty is going to the Mexican Buffet 2 times while on the liquid diet. Which I did and I went to a Steak House. Now I'm bad...I'm so ashamed..I still dropped 18 lbs before surgery...Don't be so hard on yourself, you are human, and you will be fine. Just wait until you really can't have anything or want anything and you think to yourself, remember the good ole days, when I could eat...You take care, and hang in there.... Sandi

Thanks, Sandi! I needed to hear that. It's now the next morning and I'm so discouraged. I have to go to the Dr. on Friday for my pre-op appt and I'm not losing much weight. At first I lost like crazy - 10 pounds in the first 3 days, but the last two days I've lost nothing. I guess my body just has to catch up. By the way, how did it work out with your new man? I've been keeping up with your story. Hugs! Christie

Ok Christie! You are only human!!! I cheated to pre-op, it is tough and you do get tired of stuff....do you do soups, blenderized? I found that helped me and I really don't think the pudding will hurt you at all....I ate popcorn at the movies and some more stuff and still lost 13 pounds pre-op. The main reason they want you to do this is to help your liver start shrinking and also get you used to not having your comfort foods. I think it is a better way to go than to eat right up to surgery. My hubby Michael was able to eat right up to surgery and it was really hard on him giving up those comfort foods, pizza, chinese, KFC.., so you hang in there girl, you are going to do great! Did you ever get an angel? If not, I would be honored to be yours..... Much Nancy

Hey Nancy Girl! You are such a sweetie! I can't have blenderized soups - only clear broth. I'm eating 3 carnation instant breakfasts a day (supposed to have 5 but I can't make myself swallow more than 3), plus broth, jello and popsicles. And of course, the infamous pudding! I'll be ok cause i only have one week left!!! Thank you so much for the offer to be my angel. I did get one, though. Her name is Pat Holt and I'm so thrilled! I haven't had a chance to talk with her much because I was taking care of my mother over the weekend. I hope to talk with her today. Thank you again for your offer. You are more of an angel than you'll ever know! HUGS! Christie

Hello MY name is Allison , and I went to Chic Fil A , while on the liquid diet. It was day 6 , I was on my way home from work, when the stop light went to red, on my right set the lovely Chic Fil A and as I waited on the light to change , the smell over came me, I was like a caged woman inable to stop my self.... before I knew what happen I was at the drive thru window ordering a chicken sandwich combo LARGE , with a Diet Coke of course, I got the goods from the lovely fellow and pulled my dark mini van to the back of the lot, with dark sunglasses on, I un wrapped that wonderful smelling sandwich and began eating,,, the tears of joy filled my eyes , the pleasure was beyond anything I had ever felt,,,, I was over comed with mayo and the waffel fries. After my meal, I trashed all the paper evidence, and headed home, as I pulled from the lot my cell phone rang,,,, " WHO WAS IT, DID SOMEONE SEE ME" , I wondered. I answered the phone as I brushed the crums from my shirt. It was the husband, OH NO I am late,,, " traffic is terrible ' , I said, as the lie left my lips I felt gulity, what had I done. GUM, I need gum, the husband will want a kiss, he may smell the chicken the fries ,,, I shoved the gum on my mouth , and drove home. He never knew, I was safe.... I did not feel like a protein shake that night , I said I just did not want anything , the DH worried . It was only two weeks ago , I confessed the sin , I came clean, I told my story. I have been forgiven my my husband , and I also ask if you all my OH family will forgive my moment of weakness. Love , Allison

LOL!!! You're a hoot, woman! Now you got me wantin a chickfila sandwich. Hehehe, what a story. Ok, ok, so maybe I didn't do anything really horrible. I just can't help but feel like if I can't do it now, how in the world will I do it after surgery?

Allison, that story was too funny, although I haven't had WLS yet, I've dieted many many times, and I definately can relate!!!! I thinnk you could have done a lot!!! worse that sugar free pudding!! so don't beat yourself up, just pick up and keep going!!! Then end is near for you!!

Christie, Honey, after you have the surgery---- you will not be able to eat just anything. Trust me, for me anyways , I did not want food at first, and now, I know what can happen when I do eat to fast or the wrong thing... so I do not try it. After my surgery I learn food was like tequila--- if you consume too much you Not worth it. Once you have the surgery, you will feel different , food will not be a problem . I will admit for the first couple weeks I thought all the folks on here were CRAZY , how could they like this " tool " , now I understand. It is wonderful. Good Luck

Since we all are confessing our cheating stories here, let me confess mine....LOL Hey I thought we were all perfecto lil angels here??? LOL Anyhoot... I was sitting at the lil red light at the New hope & Franklin intersection, just me and my lonesome the light and the Brand New Quiznos was staring me right in my face. I sat through the long light debating....hmmm should I ??? Yeah why not.... and I did!! I went and ate the biggest sandwich I could get and got the largest cup of pepsi I could get and a nice bag of Salt & Vinegar Chips. I thought of this as my last meal. It really wasn't but. I didn't know this at the time...lol There ya go! There I confessed!!! Thats GUILTY RIGHT THERE!!!!
