I'm on the sixth day of my preop diet now and I'm not going to lie… It's hard! My surgery is scheduled for March 5 and while I don't have to do a liquid diet it is a low carb and highly restricted one. My biggest problem is in the middle of the night… I wake up and go stand in front of the refrigerator. I have cheated a couple of times however I've cheated using food that is on the diet so I hope the damage is not as bad. For me the best thing to do is to not get wrapped up in the slip and get right back on immediately. Hang in there and let's do this!
