Has anyone cheated during the pre op diet????



Recommended Posts

Oh...and I have found another good way to cheat is just chew the food and spit it out...sounds gross...but sometimes I crave the texture of the food and it curbs my craving.

My surgery was Aug 22, so I am 4 days post, and I have to admit I cheated a lot..... I didnt follow much of a diet other than the day before clear liquid..... Mentally it was like I needed to eat all my favorites like as if I wouldnt be able to anymore...... stupid, but I did.... nothing crazy, more like I just continued my normal diet (which was obviously not the best)........... havent experienced any drawbacks just yet, but that also may explain my rapid weight loss this first week..... 11 lbs so far.....

It's been rough. I've been on chicken broth, 3 low fat yogurts, 2 Protein Shakes and 2 cups of fruit a day. I've cheated at work. I'm a nurse and i got hypoglycemic one night and our NP made me eat six goldfish crackers and half a fun sized Nestle Crunch and I was much better. So every night half way through my shift I eat the goldfish and fun size candy bar between my yogurt and broth. I know it's not a huge cheat, but dang I feel guilty for doing that. I've lost 22 pounds in 8 days, I keep comparing myself to my brother and uncle's pre op losses and get down, but I know they were both heavier and are male so their bodies metabolize differently. Wow, I'm rambling..must be nervous for Monday!

I'm so glad I found this website/post! I am on day four of Optifast and I have cheated every single day. I take a bite of my son's dinner when I am making it....I EVEN ATE SOME OF THE SPAGHETTI COLD I WAS SO HUNGRY!! I did bite into a chicken finger last night, chewed and spit it out. I have had my coffee in the moring. It was just too much for me. No caffeine and no food all at once.....I felt miserable on day two. I had to go into an empty office at work and close the door to take a nap. Even someone said I sounded wore out. I am frustrated...it's not that the Optifast is that bad or anything, I am just bored with it and I still have 10 days to go. Ugh......I am just ready to get the surgery and get on with it........

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
