I’m trying to figure out if I will be ok for surgery the week after next my son’s birthday it was last week which I also started my preop diet, which was on the third and my sons birthday was on the fifth. I had two cupcakes, but I did start my preop diet, the right way until his birthday then yesterday I went to a party which I had two slices of pizza but in between those times I was still eating when I was supposed to and also doing my Protein Shakes like I’m supposed to I have one more week which is coming up of the preop diet and I wanted to know do you guys think I will be OK?

you will be fine but stop with the bad food. if you cant control it during pre op. Post op is going to be very challenging then because at that point it can be dangerous to slip up like that during recovery. Most people slip up during their pre op diet but the point is to get back on track and loose that weight to have that surgery. A couple people have posted on here that they got to the operating table, opened up and their liver was still big and they closed them up and sent them home. you dont want that to happen. So get back on track and follow your doctors pre op diet guidelines.

Yea the reality is you’re probably going to be fine but maybe not if you slip again. Part of what’s good about the pre op is that you get to prove it to yourself that you can do it post op cause like liveaboard15 said, you can seriously I just yourself from one little slip post op.

      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.
