I cheated! Please help! :(



Recommended Posts

I think you are going to be fine! Just make sure you stay on track until your surgery. My doctor didn't put me on a liquid diet before surgery, only after. The only order I had was to be NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight the night before my surgery. Even though I had no instructions to follow as far as diet, I still counted calories, but there were a couple of days that I cheated. I did fine during my surgery and so will you! Good luck!

Hi Everyone! I'm Banded!! I just wanted to post an update. My surgery was on Monday 8/9/10. My doctor knew I cheated and he was ok with it. When I came to, the first thing I asked was if my liver was small enough. He answered "It could have been smaller, but I managed." lol

Everything went very smoothly, My nursing staff was amazing and now I'm at home resting and healing.

They you all again for your support and advice. I really appreciate it :w00t::)

congrats vflores! My surgery was fine and I was a cheater too :thumbup: I came clean with them right before but I think because my BMI was pretty low they just went right on ahead with it.

I am NOT condoning it...you should always follow your doctor's advice but I just want you to have the facts. I think we need to be truthful so that others can learn from our experience and decide for themselves what to do.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
