Honestly, you shouldn't feel bad. You're not the first or the last that cheated on their pre op diet. I know I did. lol. Talk to your dr. He MAY allow you to eat small amounts of food during the day. My best friend was on the two week liquid diet, but her surgeon allowed her to have light salads if needed.

Just make sure you lose whatever amount of weight your surgeon wants you to. I think everyone cheated on the liquid diet. But tomorrow is a new day. You can do this! It is so much easier after the surgery!

I cheated. The only thing I want to add is don't make yourself vomit. It could cause issues that may result in your surgery having to be postponed. Just keep telling yourself how important this surgery is to you.

I totally understand what your going through I cheated the first and third day of my diet and then after reading other people's story that cheated I decided it wasn't worth canceling my surgery. I am 2 days almost 3 days post op and healing fine. I'm still sore but it's getting better everyday. It's hard when everyone around you can eat but you can't good luck :)

Talk to the professionals that are on your surgery team. That's what they are there for. I don't think there is one person on this forum who is not willing to give you all of the support that we can. But the vast majority of us are not doctors, psychologists, physician assistants and nutritionists. We are not medical professionals with years of education and many more years of experience helping folks just like us - and just like you. You undeniably will not be the first person to ask for their help and you undeniably will not be the last. You are on a journey of lifestyle change. This may well be your first and possibly biggest challenge - find the courage to ask your team for help. You'll be glad you did.

DL is right though. You're surgeon is there to help. I know for me I started counseling prior to starting the process and all during it because I knew I had to work on the head hunger and reasons I ate in the first place. It sure has helped! Lots of good books on it as well.

Lol I know I cheated, I kept thinking of that one food I wouldn't get to have again, and of course the Chinese buffet!!!!!! But now it's been 3 years and I still never even feel hungry! Just don't make your self through up close to your surgery, it stresses the stomach big time, your better off to just finish what your eating and beat your self up with the guilt... Keep you head high you'll be fine!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
