I cheated for 1 meal during my pre-opt



Recommended Posts

I had scrambled eggs Tuesday night before surgery on Thursday. I guess it depends on what you did and when you did it! Every doctor seems to be different in pre-op diet requirements.

It's ok, that 2 or 3 week liquid phase pre op is brutal. I was so HANGRY!!!!!

You're not going to do it perfect. I think I cheated twice. I remember it being a very difficult period, so you're not alone! Don't give up! The surgery is going to make it a lot easier to stay on track. You can do it!!!! :)

You need to call your surgeon and tell him what you have done. Only he can tell you if you have caused a problem with your surgery.

Call your team asap and ask. Please don't take risks and not tell them. They might open you up and then decided not to do the surgery (it has happened before) and you don't want that do you. Please don't go by people on the boards saying things like 1) I didnt have to do anything until 12 hrs before surgery 2) You will be fine, I cheated and was fine, so you will be too.

You have to follow what your surgeon wants you to, not theirs.

I really hope the surgery goes ahead, once you have discussed with your surgeon. Please let us know how things go !!

Kate :)

      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.
