Jay N 1 Posted November 2, 2012 So I'm on a high Protein, low carb pre op diet. I've lost close to 20 lbs in the last month.. but I'm 11 days from my surgery and I cheated... I'm really worried, because my doc said if my liver is too large he will not operate. Help please....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melissac 22 Posted November 2, 2012 I don't think that cheating just one time will hurt you but I would definitely try to stay strong and follow through with the diet so that your surgery will go smoother and without complications. I wish you the best of luck through this. I was just sleeved on Monday and I can tell you that I too had a very hard time on the pre op diet but I managed and everything went well for me and I feel wonderful today. Stay strong, you will get through this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladiJ 83 Posted November 3, 2012 get right back on your plan! one cheat will not ruin you, but it is important that you get right back on the plan and don't let it turn into a free for all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronda 6 Posted November 5, 2012 my friends think this is so easy. have surgery, lose the weight, no work at all. the preop is so difficult for me. I too cheated 10 days out. I am hoping the fear I feel about the surgery being called off keeps me on track. I am in a panic that I will fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cheated on the day before my surgery and had a piece of bacon... I thought it would't be a huge deal, since it was Protein, AND it was my birthday! The doc could SEE the bacon in my stomach during the surgery and was angry. I got the surgery, but the doc let me know he was not pleased. Hang in there! 1 AnnaBanana reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangefruit 179 Posted November 6, 2012 I ate the bacon in the morning... The reason for not eating after midnight is for the anesthesia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
