breaking my pre op diet on the first day.

So they told me I was supposed to start my preop on Sat, so my girl friends have planned this big girls night out. Then today they tell me I need to start tomorrow. So I'm gonna try and be really good, and then go out and have a couple and I mean I couple I'm not a huge drinker. And hit the preop hard Sat morning....

You are stronger than me. My feeling would be: If I cheat now, when it's most important, then I'll probably end up cheating later, defeating the purpose of all of this.

I've already lost 10 lbs before even starting the preop....and my friends are so excited for my last hurah, I wish they hadn't waited until today to tell me I had to start tomorrow instead if Sat

If wishes were nickles...

What's more important? Doing the right thing or having a few drinks? You are a grown up. Only you can decide.

It's important to stick to the preop because you need to shrink your liver for surgery. I saw another post and a few people said their doctor threatened won't operate because breaking your pre op could create a serious issue for surgery. Plus, isn't that what we all do, talk ourselves into bad behaviour?

p.s. I'm not criticizing you .... just food for thought.

Well, today, in our preop appointment/class, he basically said we could cheat once or twice and it won't hurt anything. I have already made my decision, was just thinking outloud i guess, because I was upset, because they didn't tell me until today that I had to start tomorrow, they have been telling me all along that I would be starting on 5/31. which is why my freinds planned this big deal...if i had known we could have done it last weekend

Then by all means, go out, drink, eat and be merry!
