Did Anyone Cheat On Preop Diet?



Recommended Posts

I am becoming obsessed about the preop diet. I am doing liquids now but did eat meats. Plus I am pms-ing and have Water weight. I am scared I won't shrink the liver enough.

Maybe I just need a Xanax lol

When I had my lap band placed, I did 2 weeks of mostly liquids the program had set for me. Tempted as I was, I did not cheat. Not even once. But my diet included veggies, Jello, sf puddings so that I could at least chew something. I had mor issues with wanting to eat after surgery than on the diet. I'm not looking forward to just liquids again but I can do it. So can you! Just think of what you're gaining

I was very tempted to cheat but I didn't! I was so proud of my self.

About two days before surgery I was so tempted to attack my daughters happy meal but the I had visions of them opening me up and finding a chicken nugget in my stomach. Lol

The best thing to do is probably follow your surgeon's instructions. My surgeon didn't require a two week pre-op liquid diet of any kind. I survived :)

Pony, do you had no pre op diet? Were you very heavy? I am starting at 250. But they require it for all their patients.

Army wife-my surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet whatsoever other than following the FDA's food plate (the healthy way to eat). He doesn't need to shrink the liver. He's just that awesome! It must be torture for you guys to have to deplete yourselves two weeks prior. I would think that would make you very weak for surgery. But I would follow the instructions you are given. Compliance is difficult but it's also successful. Best wishes!

I didn't cheat as far as the liquid diet because I took that as my first big challenge. 2 days before surgery we went to El Paso and I ate a big meal at Famous Dave's BBQ as my last splurge and also as a celebration of not cheating and losing the weight. I can say if you are faithful to your liquid diet you WILL lose the needed weight. Don't let the evil cheater voice get you off course. You got this!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
