I cheated! Please help! :(

I think you are going to be fine! Just make sure you stay on track until your surgery. My doctor didn't put me on a liquid diet before surgery, only after. The only order I had was to be NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight the night before my surgery. Even though I had no instructions to follow as far as diet, I still counted calories, but there were a couple of days that I cheated. I did fine during my surgery and so will you! Good luck!

Hi Everyone! I'm Banded!! I just wanted to post an update. My surgery was on Monday 8/9/10. My doctor knew I cheated and he was ok with it. When I came to, the first thing I asked was if my liver was small enough. He answered "It could have been smaller, but I managed." lol

Everything went very smoothly, My nursing staff was amazing and now I'm at home resting and healing.

They you all again for your support and advice. I really appreciate it :w00t:

congrats vflores! My surgery was fine and I was a cheater too :thumbup: I came clean with them right before but I think because my BMI was pretty low they just went right on ahead with it.

I am NOT condoning it...you should always follow your doctor's advice but I just want you to have the facts. I think we need to be truthful so that others can learn from our experience and decide for themselves what to do.
