Hi, New to this. I have done all my pre op appointments and have been approved for surgery for this Friday Nov 9th. I'm on my second week of my pre op diet. First week was 2 shakes and a high Protein meal. The first week I did pretty good, only slipped one day. This week I'm on all liquids, but I ate A piece of Baked chicken breast and green Beans for lunch . I've lost 12 pounds so far. My question is will this hurt my surgery? Should I tell the doctor? Do you all think I will be okay?

I have had no secrets from my team pre-op or post-op. I would have been freaked out to know that the person who was cutting into me made assumptions based on faulty or incomplete information because I wasn't honest with him. But that's me.

You'll probably get responses from people saying that it's no big deal, but if it were me, I'd tell them.

I understand how hard the pre op diet is im on it myself I'm also scheduled for 11/09. I've also cheated but have had A bowl of Soup at night.:/ I feel so guilty afterword but I'm starving. I've found that the type or Protein shake makes a big difference! They are a little pricey but help muscle milk ProSeries shakes have 40 grams of Protein and are thicker . Also I'm trying really hard to stay busy ( I painted and cleaned my house ) I would tell him . I plan on telling mine even tho I'm so ashamed of myself for cheating . Just start fresh every day .

      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.
