Thursday Question

Ok so last night was Tulsa meet and greet and since I made everyone laugh and a few duck under thir chairs from hearing the tail end of my sentence which was.... I DIDNT SWALLOW IT I ONLY SUCKED......  I wanna hear from everyone else plus those who shared their stories last night can share with those that didnt get to come...


Before and after,,,,,,, Did you cheat?  Before my surgery I was on a 5 day liquid diet and OMG I was soooooo craving food.... So as my son was sitting there munching away on some doritos, and I couldnt help myself.  I sucked on one til all the cheese was gone and then spit it out! i enjoyed the fact I wasnt alone and it was even better to see that I had rubbed off on Wolfie and he did the same thing. What did you do???  Did you do anything even close?

I'm not a swallower either. I am a spitter. I didn't do it before surgery, but have been known to do it a few times post-op. Hey, whatever works!

LMAO at you and Rita! I swallow. 

Nope, I didn't cheat on food beforehand. I was too stubborn to do it. I have that bred into me on both sides...maybe it comes with the redhead territory, too!

Hey there! I sucked and spit too, the other day. lol I was teaching a class and it was our last session together, so I got the kids some snack foods. Their request was dorritos...and yes...I couldn't resist! I had to suck that cheese off. They were laughing at me, but it was sure tastey!

Also ate at a sandwich shop the other day with my dad and they had the most gorgeous rye bread ever...had to take a bite, but yet again...I spit. lol You gotta do what you gotta do!!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one!!!!

Love ya'll!

Pre-op I had too many last suppers.  I didn't have to lose much weight before surgery so I said good bye to a few too many foods.

Post-op I had a 3 or 4 sips of a margarita on my birthday.

I really been a pretty good girl.

That was absolutely hillarious last night...we had the table rolling didn't we.  My cheat was 2 days before surgery.  Dr Gorospe requires 4 days liquid diet before surgery to help shrink the liver.  About 11 pm 2 nights before surgery I couldnt stand it no more and fixed a plate of popcorn chicken.  After eating about 6 of the bites I got up so pissed off at myself, threw the rest in the trash and stood in front of the fridge with my big trash can just throwing stuff away and crying my head off and yelling like a banshee. 

Now as for after I have ate a few bites of bread a couple of times and taken a SIP of some Dr Pepper (which tasted GROSS).

Before and after,,,,,,, Did you cheat?

Well, before, all I had to do was drink the magnesium citrate to "clean me out" on the night before the surgery... other than that, nothing was actually required of me so there was no "cheating" to be had.

After, well, I'm 4 years *almost* post-op now, so yeah there's been plenty of cheating over the years, I'm not about to lie.  For example, I drank a Diet Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr Pepper at about 6 weeks post op and it was soooo heavenly... then I was so mad at myself that I started things all over my house.  Mood swings are a b*tch, I tell ya lol. 

I didn't have a preop diet, but I stopped eating an extra 24 hours before what I was supposed to.  I had surgery in Mexico and was pretty militant about the post op rules because I didn't want to fly back to TJ if I had a problem.

I do remember being so sick of sweets that I licked some salt off my hand just to get rid of that icky sweet taste.

I didn't cheat on my 5 day pre-op diet but I was so hungry I could have killed for a cheeseburger and fries!  I have done some cheating after surgery.  Sometimes those cravings keep nagging, especially after seeing all the food commercials!  Occasionally I have a sip or two of Dr. Pepper but I haven't had a whole can.  I haven't had root beer yet but I'm craving it and I'm very weak when it comes to Cheetos.
