Cheating during two weeks?



Recommended Posts

As I have said many times before, stick to the plan your surgeon gave. I did not cheat on my pre or post-op diet. I am 5 months and 85lbs down and still haven't cheated. The diet is to help you prepare for surgery and your new lifestyle post-op. it is not meant to be to torturous. Sure the popular belief is that you cheat today and tomorrow is a new day, but for some it becomes once a cheater always a cheater.

After surgery, you'll need to heal and being on a all liquid diets has a purpose. Anyway, I've had my say and now I am finished. It is up to you to follow the instructions or give into temptation. That is not to say you won't ever have a bite or two of something unhealthy or indulgent, but don't make it a hobby. I've taken this surgery seriously because this as a last ditch effort to keep of weight and I won't fail.

Good luck whatever path you take on your journey.

I had to do 2 week liquid diet, and yes if you cheat try and not do carbs or sugars. I had a steak one night with a salad and the other night a chicken salad with ranch dressing. But the 2 days prior to surgery I didn't cheat. Plus you digest food fully after 5 hours I believe so it's ok :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
