Cheating On Pre-Op

[Bremartus 76]

I cheated on my pre-op diet. I did not cheat badly but I am on a liquid diet and I had food. Is this bad? Will they cancel my surgery? I am scheduled for this Thursday at 10:30 am. I feel bad and support system has been doing it best to help me stay on track but most of all I have failed myself. Not happy and scared. What do I do? I feel so down.

Think about what exactly caused you to slip and how to reduce temptation. Yes, you messed up but DO NOT allow guilt to make you sabotage again. Tomorrow is a fresh start and one mistake doesn't mean you will fail yourself or the band. You can do this! I highly doubt 1 meal will make them cancel your surgery but get on track ASAP.

You are not the only one that had to have a bite to eat before surgery. You did and now it is over. I had a salad about 4 days before my surgery and was so upset with my self I called my doctors office and told them and they was happy I called and told them but they forgave me and I still had my surgery. So I recommend you tell them and move pass it. Take it as a lesson lived and learned.

Yep I cheated too! Not too bad I think. I ate shelled dry roasted peanuts with no salt.
