I would suggest you have a straight forward, face to face conversation with your bariatric surgeon.

This is NOT the time for half truths or concealing information from the person who will have your very life in his/hands.

For so many reasons--on so many levels, call and make an app'tment.

I did my eat ALL the things craze before my preop.

You neeeeeeeeeed to let your doc know what's going on. If you're not following preop instructions you need to let them know. The post op instructions are extremely important as well and not following them could have fatal results.

Building thick skin and control is very important post and pre surgery.

Also... you'll be able to eat the things you love again one day... just in smaller healthier portions!

But you have to get to that point first! Healthily.

There is a small chance that they might not care if you've only had a few little slips. But honestly, this is very serious if you are unable to stick to the diet at all.

If you can't stick to your pre-op diet, please do discuss everything you've been eating with your doctor so they can gauge how seriously you veered off course and if they want to move it or cancel your surgery.

You're risking them either canceling your surgery completely after opening you up - so you will have all the "fun" of recovering from laparoscopic surgery without any of the actual surgery performed, or them trying to perform the surgery and causing liver bleeds or damage due to the liver being too large or fragile, which can include serious complications up to and including death.

Yes. I ate small little sins on my pre op diet ( pieces of chicken breast and an oreo cookie). It had brought such guilt but I had an epiphany afterwards, and that was if you're doing this pre op how in the hell will you survive post op. Im glad I did eat the little sins because it allowed me to reevaluate my decision. After feeling sad for a bit I figured that life was about trial and error and we make mistakes, but we can't kill ourselves with guilt because of the mistakes. In my time of re-evaluation I discovered that I had ate the foods not because I was hungry but because it was there and I was tired of liquid. I am now 8 days post op VSG and I do not crave solids nor have I eaten any little sins lol. My advice to you would stop now, take a laxative (if allowed by your surgeon ) and stop beating yourself up because you're human and this is all new to you!

I wouldn't worry. The surgeon I had doesn't require a pre-op diet and he has a perfect track record. Do let them know though. Everything will be fine

I'm on day 3 of my 2 week liquid diet. It sure is harder than I thought! The 1st night I cheated with some cheese.. I felt so guilty 5 min later. When I feel hungry I drink some Water or juice and remind myself that not controlling myself is what lead me to this.

As many have already said, my advice would be to talk to your surgeon. S/he can tell you if it's a good idea to proceed or to delay the surgery a little. Be 100% honest. Remember, it is for your safety!

After day 3, it gets easier. It's a great thing you lost your appetite. It'll make it easier for you to successfully complete your pre op@

I would check with the surgeon, but if you've dropped a lot of weight you should be fine. On my 2 week liquid pre op I dropped 20lbs. I cheated two or three times, there were a few days where I was just ravenous when I got home from work even after drinking all my shakes. I had a few bites of whatever was still in the house. The only full meal I ate was the day before surgery I had some boneless skinless chicken.

I think everyone cheats once or twice during the pre-op, it's the first real hard cut-off between your old relationship with food and your new one. As long as you haven't been going off plan a lot you are probably fine.
