How bad did you cheat? Each preop diet is different so what was your mishap?

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

i was good 90% of the time and not so good the other 10%. i still lost 6 lbs and my few small cheats had no effect on my surgery. i wouldnt worry about it, i think the dr just wants you to lose weight to help your liver be smaller before surgery. call your drs office if you need to, im sure youre not the 1st person who cheated. good luck !!

IT HELPS YOU TO STAY TRUE!!!

I did it months ago when I first started the application process. Then when I finally got my date I was like screw it Im NEVER gonna eat all my favorite foods EVER AGAIN! So i straight out ate what I wanted when I wanted including sodas. But post op was HORRIBLE! I was still craving and wanting those foods I had JUST had. I have been VERY strict on my intake and lost 20 lbs my FIRST WEEK POST OP. But Im sure the longing and cravings wouldnt be so much if I would have stayed true. And I would have lost SO MUCH MORE is I would have listened! You can do this and you will make it thru!

I cheated once REALLY BAD on my preop diet. Don't stress yourself out about it. You messed up- move on... it won't effect your surgery.

I don't know of anyone who hasn't cheated...very doubtful it will effect your surgery.
