@@sanman18, you should be OK as long as you don't cheat any more. You still have 7 days, and that is enough to get your stomach empty, shrink your liver, and whatever else they want to happen in the pre-op phase. I only did 10 days pre-op, and then 2 days prior I did Clear Liquids only. The closer your procedure is, the more important it is to stick to the diet they gave you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You can do this!

So my surgery is next week August 27 so wanted to know did anyone cheat during the pre op diet

My surgery is scheduled for the 25th and I'm on day 5 of 7 of my pre op liquid diet. I think I'm afraid to cheat. I don't want to sabotage my surgery. I also really think that taking my post op Vitamins and Calcium now helps. Good luck to you. You can do this!!! We got this!!!

For those of you that have already had surgery, what did you bring to the hospital? Is there anything you wished you had taken with you?

I think I brought too much. You should bring a change of clothes. Something loose, maybe something that goes over the head. I just brought a nightgown and robe since I was just going to the car and then home. A toothbrush and toothpaste.

I brought a book and earphones. But I was discharged the next day and I spent the night hitting the pain pump button and getting up to walk a couple of times.

You are so caught up in the pain and the pain pump and walkig and the nurses in and out that you have no time to do anything

I'm 2 days postop and have had a better day. Able to take 1litre of Fluid. Still sicking up my painkillers so am doing this without pain relief which is tough. Feel stronger than yesterday so onwards and upwards! Can't stand the smell of food- can't imagine eating again! Overall it's been exactly like I was told. Good luck to all August sleevers xx

My surgery is tomorrow and I cheated Friday. I was on full liquid Friday but I went to panera and had baked potato Soup which has some chunks. I just chewed them up really well til liquid consistency. Other than that, nothing. It was my last hurrah!

Hi @@laura4923, I had to stay 1 more night at the hospital because my arms swelled up. They gave me a lot of medication I don't know what reaction it came from. I throw up just 1 time when I took the liquid dilauded. So I stop taking it, just put on ice bags and it helps with the pain.I am still nauseous but taking meds for it. Also my arms still kinda swelling still. If it don't go down till tomorrow I will call my surgeon and not wait till my follow up appointment.

      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.
