I just don't know how to keep myself going on just liquids!
I had surgery Jan 7th (VSG) and am not 'allowed" any solids until Feb. 4th.
OK..I cheated already!! I had a very small piece of cheese, an olive and 2 small spoons of cottage cheese........it was HEAVEN!!
I am deathly afraid, especially since EVERYONE is watching, that even with surgery, I will fail...again.
But if I never see watered down fruit juice again I will be PERFECTLY FINE!
How will I make it through...I just am at my wits end!

You can do this... one day at a time.

Please stop focussing on what you can't have and on what others think --- and try to remind yourself that you CHOOSE to do the right thing..  you choose to be compliant with your surgeons instructions to make for a healthier you...   you choose to wait until it's time to expand your food choices.

It's very easy for  our rebellious spirits to want to fixate on what we can't do ... so try to change that mindset.

Good luck - be strong.    Each right choice makes you that much stronger.

I know how you feel I had to cook diner for my family while I walked out the kitchen eating some jello followed by some broth. I know its hard but the reward is coming just hang in there and tell your self when you feel the need "if I walk away I will have lost a pound if I stay I will have gained." Believe in yourself and good things will happen.
