  • I wanted to cheat but I stuck to the diet. I figured the more fat of the liver the easier surgery would go! So glad I did as I am 1 week out and everything went GREAT!!!

  • Frozen devil dog. But it's my time of the month. My doctor just had me on a low cal diet so I actually didnt go over my daily calories. But I haven't really lost any weight

  • I cheated a few times..once in pizza and another time on roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. If i did cheat...i only did it once during the day and didn't have an entire cheat day. Not that i recomme

I cheated a few times..once in pizza and another time on roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. If i did cheat...i only did it once during the day and didn't have an entire cheat day. Not that i recommend you cheat on pre-op but mine was all liquids for two weeks and i was having a hard time. Still managed to lose 12 lbs and had surgery a week ago. Post op i haven't cheated because i am afraid to do damage to the staple line. Good luck!

I haven't cheated, my doctor has me on a no/low carb diet, but I have felt the pull to cheat.

I was not required to do a pre-op diet..just a 24hour soft food before surgery..NPO after midnight

I am on day 7 of a 2 week liquid diet. I have not cheated but i will tell you that I do not understand what is up with today. I'm hungrier today than I have been in the last week. It's only 2:00 in the afternoon and I've already had 3 shakes, a ton of Jello and 3 popsicles. I just finished my 3rd shake and man.....I am so hungry.

I won't cheat. I've come too far to even think about it. I've lost 12 lbs already......Keep on keeping on!!! One week to go.

I am 1 week into my 2 week pre op diet! My diet consists of 4 Protein shakes a day plus 6-8 servings of chicken/fish , raw veggies, yogurt. I have not cheated at all but today temptation was showing its ugly face! Just left surgeons office for pre op visit. My test results showed increased liver enzymes ( of course I have a fatty liver). As I was sitting waiting it hit me!! THIS IS REAL!!!! This time next week I will be sleeved!!!! Oh my I never had a real "food funeral" and it hit me like a brick!! The food porn was going crazy thru my mind!!! I actually stopped at wawa!! But NOTHING inside the store was appealing to me! Not even their mint iced coffee that I used to live on!!!! I grabbed 2 hard boiled eggs and a bottle of Water and was on my way!!! What happened to the old me??? Is she gone forever???? Thank goodness!!!! I have no real cravings!!!! Already??? Wow!!!! I'm in TOTAL SHOCK LOL

Yeah I cheated but it was little things just to taste it none if it was really overboard and i lost 36 pounds in two weeks.

No cheating allowed for I am strong...8 more days, I know I can make it!

Yep, I cheated.... A bite here and there. However, I am trying my best to stick to the diet. I lost 11 lbs in 11 days. Not soo bad...and that was with a little cheat here and there. :rolleyes:

A lot of Pre-op People have a " Last meal" . My Last meal was some mexican food, but i stopped less than halfway through becuase i felt so guilty about cheating myself.

I have not cheated but have only lost three lbs and I am on day 7. Doctor wants ten more lbs lost by surgery date 9/19. Told me I need to exercise...walk to lose it.
