I never knew I had so much willpower!!! If I'd had this much willpower when it came to every diet I've tried I wouldn't be having surgery!!! But this somehow is different, I'm just super focused on the end goal which is now 6 days away.
It has certainly been very trying this weekend! I have successfully resisted all temptation to have all manner of scrumptious food and stuck to yogurt, jelly and fruit. The milk consumption however is proving to be very tricky!! I keep asking hotel staff for a large glass of semi skimmed milk and they bring me a thimbleful

To be honest I am having a little cheat tonight and borrowing from the alternative diet!
We're having a conference ball with 3 course meal which is torture. While all around me are tucking in to yummy food I'm going to have some plain chicken and vegetables. Feel guilty and not sure I should but I'm sticking to very low calorie, low fat and low sugar and drinking water. I did start my LSD a day early too so really hoping it will be ok.
Never thought I'd consider plain chicken and veg cheating but hey ho!

For me I think the difference between this and other diets is an element of choice. On a normal diet if I cheat it doesn't really matter, the only consequence is not losing weight but with this I know I can't have anything else and I have to stick to it because the consequences are so much more significant! Either not getting the surgery, or worse going through the anaesthetic etc and them not being able to complete it or having to convert to open surgery because the liver is in the way. It kind of removes the choice and becomes more of a necessity.
It has been an incredibly difficult day but I have done the best I can.
Good luck with the rest of your pre-op diet, not long now and you'll soon be there

What a coincidence - my sister is called Sharon and her birthday was Friday 24th too
Hope you had s good day.
Good luck on your diet, I couldn't imagine doing 4 weeks!! I would have to hibernate I think!! But each week brings you one step closer to a slimmer, healthier and happier you x

Had my pre-op assessment today so it's all feeling real now and I'm getting very impatient!
Realised today that the date/time on my letter is actually the admission and the actual surgery is Saturday not Friday
Don't suppose it matters as I'm on track and will get there in the end but felt a bit disappointed as I'd geared myself up and been counting the days. Not to mention the fact I've done 2 extra days on this horrid milk diet lol oh well, can only be a good thing eh?

Not long to go now su2ie. It almost feels like the goalposts have been moved! Keep going though and it will be here sooner than you think. Good luck.
