Feeling like cheating on liquid diet
I remember that feeling! If you can, have someone else (hubby?) cook for the kids.... or do things that require really minimal food prep. I tried my best to avoid food during my pre-op liquid diet....

Some great folks who are kind enough to still be on this forum way after their surgery said some great things to me ( Mind you I am only on day)
But it might help me to stay focused if I offer help anyway like so many reached out to me....
Some of their advice:
1. You don't want to have to do another 2 weeks of this (beginning again)
2. You don't want him to get you on the table and can't do the surgery.
3. A smaller liver is our goal....and its safer.
One person starting the liquid in a few days told me "Come on we can do it"
So....I say to you too, ...Come on .....we can do it!

I haven't had RNY yet my surgeon said my date will most likely be in august and I to will have to do a 2 week liquid diet :( But my best friend had this surgery in February and she cheated alot on her 2 week diet and her surgeon told her she would be able to tell if she cheated and would close her back up and not preform the surgery well this was in December 2010 she was just able to redo the surgery in Feb 2011 because the doctor put her at the end of the list after he close her up the first time :/ she was devastated she had to wait so long to redo her surgery but the second time she didn't cheat at all.. something to think about. you've made it 5 days don't jeopardize it now you can do it :)
Try and stay focused on your goal. A piece of cheese would make you feel satisfied for a few minutes. Completing the diet and having surgery will give you good feelings for a long, long time.
