I cheated! Please help! :(



Recommended Posts

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
