What will happen if we decide not to cheat on the pre op diet?

This is a great reminder even to those of us who are not pre-op, this is about the disciplined mind over the indulgent mind. I've come to realize that this is the same me after WLS as it was before. I still have all the same self-doubts, cravings etc, and I have a year to get the new habits in place.
Meanwhile, I take one day at a time.

I have decided I am going to put a LOT of energy during those two weeks towards doing stuff to get ready for my new life. My biggest task is totally re-doing my closet, down to painting and putting in a new organiztion system. I am going to need distractions and those distractions might as well be the kind that will help me keep my eyes on the prize! :)

I will say that knowing that there are stages that I'm having to go through for all of this is helpful to me. I have to diet for 3 months (or so, depending on surgery date, of course), then I have to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks. Then surgery. Then all the steps that come after that. Each step has an end in sight and that is helpful. And after it's all said and done I will have a unique tool to help me work towards new goals and a healthy life. It's going to suck come the holidays when everyone else is eating all the good stuff and I'm still doing my 3 month diet, but I'm gonna try real hard to keep my eye on the prize!

The liquids are great after about day 4-5 at least for me...I could do this a long time I'm actually full and not hungry and more. It's the chewing I miss..so I have crushed ice in my protein shakes gives my a crunch I'm missing!!
