K so I have been doing really good on my pre op diet (-15 lb in 9 days) until today... I had a meeting and was starving and had a salad with ranch, I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't help myself plus I can only get myself to gulp down 1 Protein Shake per day? Has anyone cheated a little bit and still have a successful surgery? I go in 3 days and I don't plan on cheeting again but I can't help but feel guilty and worried? Help!

Different drs assign different diets so I don't think it will hurt. I was only liquid for 48 hours prior to surgery.

My dr didn't require a pre-op diet but had a strict post-op one

i had a really hard time with my pre-op diet. i followed the rules. but only lost 9 lbs of the 12 i was suppose to. my dr almost didn't do it. but he came in asked me what was going on and decided to still do the surgery and my liver was perfect! i don't think a little ranch will hurt you. it's actually a healthy fat unless you eat it by the gallon (gross) i think you will be great.

I think you will be fine, I was on 14 days of opti fast, day 1 had to have crackers because of nausia with the taste and smell. Figured out how to improve on that. I did have 1 other bad day due to my lack of planning, and had surgery yesterday. Too out of it to ask any questions, but surgeon did say everything went fine. Good luck to you.

Thank you guys sooo much! You made me feel a lot better! They told me I had to be very strict or I couldn't have my surgery! So hopefully everything goes well! Keep my fingers crossed!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
