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!

      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.
