*sigh* I hate when I'm bad....

So, this day started off as any other...I got up and marked off a day on the calendar...had a protein shake for bfast and then some chick broth a bit later to cut down on the sweetness. Then, Jon's mom called and asked if we could bring something to her in Taneyville...so we got in the car (MOM's convertible....) and drove.  Well, we were there longer than expected and I started feeling nauseated from not having anything in my stomach.  I didn't bring a shake w/ me b/c I wasn't expecting to be gone quite so long....sooo..... I cheated :-(  I had some refried beans.  I know, I know....I shouldn't have....I'm supposed to be on liquids....but I was getting sick and *pouts*   I didn't order what I wanted to order.....and I just had a small thing..... Well....tomorrow is another day right?  I've still lost 1.5 pounds today.....so far.....I'm gonna go have a protein shake and commiserate on my failure of the day! I love you all **hugs** 8 days to go....

your not a failure just honest. lol. not many people are willing to be that honest ...You will be ok just do as your suppose to do tomorrow. Jan

grrr....just disappointed in myself.  I should have taken the supplies for a shake no matter how long I was expecting to be gone....

I am definitely back on track tomorrow though...and for the next 7 days!  STRICTLY liquids....

It's just annoying since some surgeons don't require liquid diets or anything...blah....of course I would choose one that did!  Though, I'm glad, yesterday I saw some girl post her surgeon put her on a liquid diet for 8 weeks!  EWWWW...that would suck....bad....

*hugs*

"It's just annoying since some surgeons don't require liquid diets or anything...blah....of course I would choose one that did!" True-- but it'll give you good practice for your POST op diet. And always remember-- there are some women who would kill to be you right now. A lot of people get denied for the surgery because their insurance wont pay and they cant afford it on their own. You may not feel like it…but you’re lucky. You are being given a second chance at life. That’s totally worth a ten day liquid diet. You can do this girl!!!!

Well, most people aren't hungry after surgery (I know not all) so it'll be easier postop :-) I know, I am incredibly lucky....I went through the whole process in less than 3 months.  Which is good for me considering I don't really wanna die.... *hugs*  7 days to go :-)

Relax girl, don't beat yourself up over this. Tomorrow is a new day. If we could completely do this on our own then we wouldn't need this surgery.  SO SUCK IT UP LMAO do better tomorrow. Really it'll be okay. & more days OMIGOSH a week. WHo keeps setting the clock up before it time??? Hugs

Oh man....this is crazy....one week from this very second I will be drving en route to the hospital...I have to be there at 10.  What time do you have to be there?? Oh well...I still lost 1 pound yesterday even with the stinkin' beans...so blah! :-D  I'm off to my pcp's office to check in and let them know what's going on....then off to the pharmacist to get some more meds since my surgeon says I have some kidney problems...blah..... I'm falling apart...I need the surgery and QUICK!! :-) Love ya!

Dear Rianne, Cut yourself some slack-and I will tell you why....(and, oh yea, I was the one who posted about 8 weeks on the liquid diet) but, I think ALL of us cheat at least once in that two weeks..I cant speak for everyone-but a lot of us-anywhoooo-what I was going to say is this: At least you chose something GOOD for you-AND full of protein-right? Not total junk food that wouldnt be good for ya. AND you were honest. 2 very important things there. We arent perfect and nor does anyone expect you to be!! For a couple of weeks I did 2 shakes and one small meal per day-a sensible one-and no junk. Its very hard. Its very hard to get in the habit in the beginning of always keeping a bullet or something to make a shake with....dont look at it as a failure-and as soon as you know your off track-just hop right back on the track and kick some butt.  You can do it-and I sure wouldnt beat myself up about it, girl!!! Your gonna do great-and you will be fine-I promise-you have the fight in you-and I am proud to know you!!  Keep up your good work-and congrats on the weight loss so far-How awesome is that? It will NEVER be back!! YAY for you!!  Love ya-take care-Janet

Janet Janet Janet~ You are the best!  Thanks so much, I feel better today esp since I haven't cheated AND my PCP's ofc said I lost yet ANOTHER pound...yay yay yay!!  I need to update my ticker....will do so after I write ya ;-) I hope hope hope with all my heart the weight will never come back...but good lord to hear some of the WLS grads talk it's like it's a constant struggle post-1 yr to keep the weight off....scary scary scary stuff  **hugs** Thanks for the encouragement...I needed it and the smile ya gave me :-D Love ya

Rianne, OMG you're a normal person.  Don't get down on yourself.  You have done awesome and will get right back on track.  The liquid diet is not easy and one little cheat is not going to kill you.  You are losing already and will continue after surgery too.  Youo have a great attitude - you're positive and honest and that honesty with us and yourself will carry you far.  I am so proud to know you and to consider you my friend - albeit a very young friend!!!  I think it's so wonderful that you are having the surgery while you and your skin are young.  You'll, hopefully, not be so plagued with the sags as much as some of us who are older and have had our skin stretched out longer.  And you have many more years to enjoy being a "normal" person - if any of us are ever normal. Hugs and love and keep up the good work. Lana
