Epic FAIL

So, I was doing SO well last week, and this weekend I ruined it, completely.  I am still doing the pre-op diet, but Saturday in the wee morning hours I ate junk nonsense and the same last night, AND didn't take my vitamins.

Sighhh

Did anyone have a really hard time with the pre-op diet (not the liquid)?! 

All I can say is that you did not ruin anything! I'm also PreOp and am on a PreOp diet...The nutritionist has me on a high protein, low sugar/carb plan because she wanted me to get used to what a life after surgery will be like...I've been doing this for a month and a half and I've had good days and bad days. You can't beat yourself up for a few bad days. You just have to accept it, move on and get back on track.  You've been eating a certain way for 20+ years so it takes a little time to get a new routine.  One thing that really helped me was to get rid of all of the junk food from my house so if I am feeling the need to eat some junk food I have to actually get by butt up and leave the house to get something...

Just stay focused on why you are doing this whole thing and if you have a bad day or two know that you aren't the only one and you can definitely recover from it :)

Do the best you can.. ..
We all had good and bad days on our pre-op diets.

ok delete that of your sistem and start over!!!!. you can do it! after this everything will the easier!!
hand in there.
hugs

you admitted it...you're honest about it...
now move on and get through the next day...
the pre-op diet is so much worse than the way you'll be living the rest of your life post-op.
keep your eye on the prize!!
you'll get through it!

Thanks guys! 
  
  I'm so glad for those responses, because that's probably a big reason we've all failed diets throughout ours lives.. we screw up, so we throw ourselves a pity party by eating more!  But I am so glad y'all are such good motivation! 

Plus, y'all are right... it's a learning process.  I'm not going to do it perfectly, especially before surgery. 

Again, thanks! 

yeah hun i wouldnt beat yourself up about it too much.
I dont know what your preop diet intails but mine was sticking to 1300 calories a day for 3 months pre-op, it wasnt a requirement for insurance or anything i just went to see a nutritionist when i decided to pursue surgery and wanted to try to learn some portion control.

One thing i found very helpful for staying "on track" was what my nutritionist called "OK cheating" and i was allowed to do this ONLY on the weekends.
Basically it consisted of my being able to have fast food BUT sticking to the low carb/low calorie items. my staple was anything on the fresco menu at taco bell. I felt like i was cheating when i ordered the fresca bowl but in reality it was only like 350 calories and its all the goodness of a burrito w/out the tortilla =)
Hope this helps some.
good luck
