I am mad at myself, I cheated & on the 5th day I still have 10 days left before my surgery grrrr. I'm so stupid.

Today is just one day. We all have our moments! Hang in there!

Don't stress! Get back on the plan. You can do this!!!!

It was a mistake, but you're owning up to it, which is important. Hop right back on that wagon and you'll be fine =) hang in there!

Exactly at least the cheat was not and not 5 days after surgery as the repercussions are so much worse-- Move on and behave... You can do it

Thank you all for the encouragement & reassuring me I can do this. I'm going to stay focus from now on.

the pre-op diet is soooo hard!

Im 3 years out and cheat all the time. . . I'm not perfect, if i was hell i'd of reached my personal goal or more right! I'm human and love life and love living it. . . i'm a emotional eater and always have been.. . . goodness i just got done eating about 5 small chocolate chip cookies and coffee! yummmm. . . . am i mad at myself? sure, am i going to stop living because of that? noooooo. . . .am i going to eat more cookies? no, not today or this weekend, but maybe next week. . .who knows. . .i'm human and there are no fast and true rules on how to live this life. . . we have beat ourselves up enough and I don't know about you guys, but for me the scars of abuse are with me for ever skinny or not. . . .

It depends on what your pre-op diet is.

Gatorade is considered a clear liquid. However Gatorade G2 would be a better choice.

I am 20 months post op, below goal, and have eaten stuff that is not good for me. Beating yourself is the worse thing to do. It gets you into that cycle of shame and guilt, eating more because you are upset, and then feeling even more guilty. Tomorrow is a new day and a chance to start fresh!

If we never had temptations, if we never made mistakes, we would not be human. It does not mean that is ok to eat whatever you want, but it does mean it is ok to forgive yourself and do better next time.

Would it be really bad if I had a grilled chicken and salad right now? - My surgery is 18 days away and I am on day 6 of all liquid. Seriously? Is this considered a cheat?

It's a cheat if goes against your doctors prescribed diet. Is it gonna cause any harm 18 days pre-op, no

I was only on a 5 day liquid diet..and i cheated 3 days before surgery i had a grilled chicken sandwhich...mistake it was....but my surgery went 100% well..but dont make it a habit...they do it for a reason...make sure you stick to your diet and hang in there...after the surgery you wont be hungry at all....so keep up the good work

18 days of all liquid before surgery sounds really excessive to me. My surgeon didn't have a pre-op diet at all. Had a sandwich the night before surgery

I have been on an Optifast diet since July 2 and my surgery is July 30. It was hard the first week but got better. I have been tempted to eat but have not. I am amazed at myself! I guess different doctors have different requirements.
