I had a few (like 5) pizza rolls at my little brothers birthday party ! i am so mad at myself because I only have a few more days to go before surgery and I have been good so far! the doc didnt give me a set weight or % to loose should I be ok? I am set to be banded 1st thing in the AM on the 16th and I am hoping I didnt screw up to badly

You have just 4 days to atone for your sins. Really the reason for the pre op diet is to take as much

fat off your liver as possible and maybe reduce the size of it. The surgeon has to move the liver to

do the band, and a fat liver makes his work much more difficult. Then there is the urban legend of

the liver that split in half because it was too fat. For the rest of your time, follow your surgeon's

instructions and you'll be just fine.

The reason for the pre-op diet is to make sure your liver shrinks. If you dont do as they require on the pre-op diet and ur liver doesnt shrink enough to have the surgery. They will not be able to do the surgery. It is extremely important to follow the diet. Hope all goes well.

If you have been following the plan and continue the plan, that cheat isnt going to destoy all the hard work you have put into it so far. Take a deep breath and get back on the wagon.

      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?

      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.
