I am going to be banded on 7-8-10. But I am having a hard time sticking to the shake diet. Has anyone ver cheated and had the surgery done? If so, how did it go?

I cheated but just alittle. On the days I couldn't get my protein, I only ate lean foods....everything was fine on surgery day. The doctor said my liver looked great..

I did not cheat, mostly because I knew I had a fatty liver and I did not want complications during surgery. Remember YOU can do this. For me, when I thought I couldn't drink another shake, I pictured a fatty liver and how in the heck was the dr. going to move that slimey thing out of the way so he could perform surgery. No problem... no cheating ....and no fatty liver at surgery!

I had a lean protein meal on days when I just couldn't handle it. My surgeon said my liver looked great. No issues at all.

It was hard, I wanted to quit, I had to condition my mind mentally, so I started the adding the shakes little by little in the months before surgery because I knew I was going to have to get used to them. I gagged and was in great resentment but I didn't want my surgeon to cancel my surgery so I wasn't going to risk that. I started the pre-op around Feb 3rd. I went out of town to a convention around Feb 10th. I forgot to pack my powder mixture so during the days of my convention, I found restaurant where I could order baked fish and lots of salads There was one restaurant that I always go to every year when I attend the convention. Do you think I went? Heck yes, and I ate therir delicious chili con queso with chips. I also ate half a sandwich one of those days. On Feb 14th, I ate at Saltgrass with my family. I resisted alcohol but I just had to have me a pitch of that bread (It was the last time I ate bread now that I think about it). I also ate crackers and rice cakes during the pre-op because I didn't know I wasn't supposed to. I don't really consider it cheating, but I did rely on this website and the people on here to keep me focused. The first week of the pre-op I was cranky and everything, but when I saw 8 pounds gone in like four days, it motivated me. Hang in there!!!!
