Feeling like cheating on liquid diet
I had two weeks of liquids pre-op and just finished two of three post-op weeks of liquid. That is what my surgeon requires. It is difficult but totally doable. I felt so good the morning of my surgery knowing that I had not cheated, that I had done everything I needed to prepare my body. What really helped me pre-surgery was sugar-free gum and sugar-free popsicles. Also, when I was feeling an urge, I got up and walked or distracted myself in some way. When I posted something very similar to you, the best advice I got was that the liquid diet is your insurance policy to a new life. That became my mantra. Also, be sure to build in little rewards for yourself- a new nail polish, some flowers, a candle, bath products, earrings, makeup. In these four weeks, I have lost 37 pounds! It has been a great jumpstart. Best of luck to you!
