Did you cheat on Pre Op?



Recommended Posts

Y'all, I am having surgery on 9/22.

I cheated on my pre op and had chicken tenders and fries. I feel guilty and I don't know. I can tell I have changed and I am working on changing my eating habits. It's just going to take a while to get use to. Of course, the feeling of never being full right now is really bothering me. I don't feel satisfied or full. I am scared of surgery. Really I am nervous and scared of throwing up after surgery. I am worried about the pain, and the gas.

My surgery is in two days!!!!!

You will be okay. It could have been worse. Like Soda etc. Also, I dont know about you but guilt always makes me feel worse enough to eat more.Try not to cheat during the 48 hours before for sure!

Good luck!

I don't know I just fell horrible. I feel so hungry and I have done my research but I need to know how to eat and what to eat... like recipes and stuff. I don't know hard to explain.

Has your surgeon provided a post op diet for all stages? They are lots of recipes on the net and this site, but too early to worry about that yet.

Being sleeved is a huge commitment to yourself. You really have to be ready to follow your surgeons advice and eating plan. It can be downright dangerous and even life threatening during the healing phase to make up your own rules. The sleeve will do its part but you have to do yours.

I was asking about a post op diet. You should be given specific information on eating stages such as Clear liquids, full liquids, puree, soft food and then solids and how long to be on each stage. You shouldn't have to figure it out by yourself. Daily Protein and Water goals.Once you get back to solids, you can use recipes. Ask your surgeons office for that kind of info.

Sorry to laugh, haha, but I cheated on my pre-op diet. I didn't have Protein shakes, well maybe two within my two week pre-op diet. I had burger king, Arby's, and tons of subway. I know I shouldn't have done that but the reasoning is to shrink your liver. I heard that is uncommon for them to open you up and nothing happen due to a fatty liver, but also that it can happen. And don't worry, you don't even feel hungry after surgery. That smell made me nauseous when I smelt it after surgery.

*and I had tons of Water two days before my surgery because I was so paranoid they would cancel due to a fatty liver*

      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.
