Pre-Op Diet & Cheating - maybe a NSV? LOL

I'm on day 300 or so of this pre-op diet.

Okay, not really, it just feels like it sometimes. I'm on day 9.

Last night, I got it into my head that I wasn't going to do the surgery and I was going out to dinner and I was going to eat whatever I wanted and to hell with this whole idea. I'd lose weight on my own (nevermind I've been fat since kindergarden). I'm sure some of you know that mentality. I told my husband who just kind of listened and then he mentioned a few times about the liver and that I would change my mind and I was just PMSing and he totally understood, etc etc. But I basically said F-U and off we went to the Indian place. Naan, oh beautiful naan.

Which I didn't touch. I walked in and looked at the menu and realized I was being a complete brat and it was all a mind game with myself. I had tikka chicken (grilled chicken breast) and sautted veggies - which were totally on the pre op diet because they had very very little oil. I DID go over slightly the 9 grams of fat I'm allowed, but ya know... I stayed within the carbs and I did pretty damn good. 

Can I claim this as my first NSV? *laughing* Because, let me tell you, I'm stubborn and how I didn't dig in... well, it's a miracle.

My big craving right now is Mexican. I love Mexican food. Specifically, I REALLY want Chuy's chips and salsa. Hubby is the cook around here and is going to bake chicken one night and top it with his own homemade salsa. I think I love that man.

High 5!

Way to go!!! Totally a NSV!!!  I can't wait to start having those NSVs myself! LOL!  So when is your surgery?

 Thanks. Surgery is 6/21 (it's listed under the photos for most folks on the left of the messages... I think mine says VSG 6/21/11)

dumb question what the heck is NSV?

Non Scale Victory

 Haha, I TOTALLY understand!!! We are surgery date twins and I am in the same boat at the moment! Sometimes I swear this diet is inhumane and should be illegal but then I just remind myself why I'm doing this and how awesome I am going to feel. The diet my doc put me on is super high protein shakes 3x a day with clear liquid snacks in between. I can have some non starchy veggies and 3oz lean meat once a week. It's been extremely difficult and I totally dropped my basket the other day and went  a little insane on my roommate for no reason (but I'm blaming that on the stress and hunger LOL). 

Good luck to you and remember, we only have 5 more days!!!! 

OMG. Your diet is rough. I would have dropped the basket, thrown it in the garbage and murdered the nearest skinny chick. LOL. Hang in there. We can totally do this.

 Haha, yeah you know its bad when you feel like you're cheating by having a salad with no dressing. LOL But I am totally committed!   

Your husband sounds like a sweetheart!!
