Has anybody cheated on there pre op liquid diet and does it affect yu am so yempted to cheat am 7 days away from surgery

People have cheated and everything went fine. But everyone is different. I did here and there but never a huge amount. It was really hard cooking for my family & not eating any of it! Ive seen other people say if u do cheat, cheat with a lean Protein. Just keep in mind it maybe a slippery slope to more cheating...maybe if u have a little something and be really good for the next six days.

On another note you can do this!!! Remind yourself of all the reasons you want to do this. Maybe a pros & cons list. Mind over matter.

Yes everything was fine. However it takes a while afterwards to turn your mind off from wanting 'bad' food. So the earlier you get in the mindset the better!! Then again its going to be a long time before you can splurge again! Some surgeons require a certain about of weight loss prior. Thankfully mine did not. Definatly do the clear liquid diet day prior and nothing by mouth after midnight prior to surgery. Best of luck to you!

I only had to do liquid 2 days. I was a good girl. I wanted this surgery as much as having 3 kids.

      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.

      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.
