I cheated on mine with a fountain diet dr. pepper. And mmmmm it was good. I remember thinking, it was going to be that or a Big Mac from McDonalds. Glad I stuck with the soda. It was weird too, because I had given soda up for 3 months prior to that.... SMH.

I remember I did SOOOO much research trying to convince myself that I could eat something and it wouldn't hurt me. I researched it so much one night, that my craving went away. I'd stay course. You will be glad you did.

do you have a bowel prep? The only reason I ask is because you may want to do some enemas. My surgeon required Clear Liquids the day before surgery because they want to make sure your bowel is completely empty. A pizza the day before surgery could derail you. I've heard people getting their surgeries postponed.

For safety, you need to make the surgeon aware of this since if your stomach is not completely empty at the time of surgery it could lead to some serious complications like peritonitis. You might want to check with them to see if you need to take some Mag Citrate or something to clean you out. If you are having bypass it could be even more serious.

They told me at my preop appt to do the mag citrate the afternoon before surgery.

I was supposed to do clear liquids the day before surgery.

Confession .... I ate a burger that morning.

I was also doing the magnesium citrate bowel prep in the afternoon, and figured I'd be cleared out anyway.

I'm sure you will be OK. I'd ask your surgeon if there is any doubt. But congrats, and good luck tomorrow!

I confess I cheat eating snack crackers or hot Cheetos. I'm a month and a half out and I'm still on liquids because I wasn't getting my fluids in. I confess I'm jealous of my husband and kids because I cook them a yummy dinner and I drink mine or eat a pickle pop. I love seeing people eat especially what I've cooked, but I'm sad I can't even eat tuna

      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.
