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!

The liquid diet is very challenging . Yesterday was my daughters first holy communion and we had a party with a lot of really good Italian food . I ate a very little .

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
