Hey guys. I have surgery in 7 days time. I'm obviously on the pre op diet stage...however last night I had a binge. Eating lots of things I shouldn't have. Will it matter? Will it effect surgery? I'm worried my liver will have gotten bigger again as I'm supposed to be shrinking it. Any advice would be wonderful. Thankyou...and I hope any fellow sleeved are doing well post surgery. X

call me mean if you like but if you want someone to tell you its okay, sorry up front.

This is the time you need to reflect and learn from past bad habits, and if you can not do that then perhaps you have not made the right decision for your future. Can you get away with it this time without negative consequences, sure, but at what point will you become accountable for what you do and stop doing it? That is the question you really have to ask yourself. The pre-phase is not just to shrink your liver it is also to get you to change your bad habits and get you to take charge of your health. I am sorry to be blunt but if you are seriously going to do this and do it right the time for excuses and regret are over. If you do this after surgery you can seriously impact your health and possibly even endanger your life, that is a very real fact. If you are not going to become 100% committed to this life change do not endanger yourself. If this is what you want you have to take charge and change your whole lifestyle, if you are not ready to make that step, then maybe you are not truly ready for this.

      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.
