Did anyone cheat on preop



Recommended Posts

It seems as if it can't be admitted in these groups and forums we are all human and make mistakes. If anyone isn't afraid that has messed up pls post how many days before and with what. No judgement here pls! We all know what we should be doing tx

During my two week pre-op diet (1,000 calorie low fat), I had to attend a wedding. I gave it up that night. I had two drinks (vodka and club), three shrimp from the shrimp cocktail platter during cocktail hour, half of my filet mignon and some of the fancy potatoes and two mini canoli from the dessert table. (This was on Friday, my surgery was on Tuesday). If I it weren't the wedding of a dear friend's son, I wouldn't have splurged (or even gone, but we had RSVP'd before I got my surgery date). But everything was fine. We are human. We are going to slip up. We just need to get right back on track.

Yes, pre op is different than newly post op.

I think when people get the most judgy is when you're 5 days post op and eating pork chops, Swedish Fish, steak etc. Then it's a matter of being concerned someone is going to physically hurt themselves.

I personally could care less if someone "cheats" pre op (as long as it's not going to interfere with the safety of their surgery) and further out post op. They only have themselves to answer to, anyway. Besides, as someone very wise on this forum once said, it's not cheating, it's a CHOICE.

And when you're posting on a public forum, you can't ask people to answer the way you'de like them to so your fee fees don't get hurt.

I wouldn't say I cheated, as The information was given to me on the Monday before my Friday surgery. Because of health issues, many of the things on the "don't" list had already been eradicated from my diet.

Do your best. It helps with a clean surgery which can make for a much easier recovery!

I didn't "cheat" pre-op and I'm human. ;)

Why call it cheating when you are simply making a choice to eat off plan? You're grown, it's your body. It's up to you to treat it how you please.

Seems to me like you want others to talk about it so you feel better about what you did.. But me having something off plan PRE op is a whole lot different than you trying to rip your stomach open by eating chicken breast n salad when it hasn't healed yet and you're still on liquids.. Thats your choice it would scare me

i had a can of tuna for 2 nights on my pre op. frankly my surgeon didn't seem too worried about being 100% on plan. i told him i was nervous about it and he was like, eh.. try your best.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
