Really bad day of cheating

OMG, you are so right.  This is really hard (the liquid diet) lucky you you get one meal.  I get 5 protein shakes a day and all the water or sugar free jello or popcycles. 
Going to nap so I won't eat.  Good luck      I to have 19 days to go

I definitely agree with the therapy/support advice!  It's so important to have a support network of some sort through this process.  

Thank you all so much. I did good for the dinner part of the diet. I had 5oz of baked chicken and a salad. I have finally gotten my water intake up to 8 glass a day. stop drinking diet pop, stopped all tobacco use and have the SF jello and chicken broth ready for tonight if I need it.

tomorrow is another day. restart. 

Get out of the house! I tried to keep myself running around like crazy on the pre op diet. When I'm busy I don't think about food. When I'm sitting on my couch, especially if I'm home alone, I eat like crazy. And therapy or a support group is KEY! It will help you change your mindset, which you have to do for long term success. Congratulations on taking the firsts steps!

Thank you everyone it be is important to me to know there is help out there for me

It is so hard not to eat when you're at home, not at work.  Too much time on my hands.  Every evening, I write down what I'm going to have the next day.  When I'm bored, I tend to look to food -- but now I make a cup of hot tea whenever I feel the urge to eat something "off schedule". Usually the urge has passed by the time my tea is ready.   Do you have any hobbies that you can do?  I generally read or do different types of puzzles.  

Keep doing your best - it's not easy, but it's well worth the effort.

Good luck!

Yes I have many hobbies and I will have to start doing some of them. I have noticed that I am letting this run my life instead of making life changing moves. Its time for a change.

Everyone has given you great advice.  Here is a link to a great article with 50 things to do instead of eating/snacking.

Also, remove those trigger foods if you can out of the house and replace them with things that are clean for you to eat.

Hu there. Dont be too hard on urself.... Tomorrow's another day.  Being home from work is the WORST for me, like the kiss of death.  I swear, I need to liv in a house with no food or fridge... ARGH!!!
