Cheated On Pre-Op Diet

[Jay N 1]

So I'm on a high Protein, low carb pre op diet. I've lost close to 20 lbs in the last month.. but I'm 11 days from my surgery and I cheated... I'm really worried, because my doc said if my liver is too large he will not operate. Help please.......

I don't think that cheating just one time will hurt you but I would definitely try to stay strong and follow through with the diet so that your surgery will go smoother and without complications. I wish you the best of luck through this. I was just sleeved on Monday and I can tell you that I too had a very hard time on the pre op diet but I managed and everything went well for me and I feel wonderful today. Stay strong, you will get through this

get right back on your plan! one cheat will not ruin you, but it is important that you get right back on the

plan and don't let it turn into a free for all.

Get back on track and you will do fine. Good luck!

my friends think this is so easy. have surgery, lose the weight, no work at all. the preop is so difficult for me. I too cheated 10 days out. I am hoping the fear I feel about the surgery being called off keeps me on track. I am in a panic that I will fail.

You have come this far! You can do it! I cheated on the day before my surgery and had a piece of bacon... I thought it would't be a huge deal, since it was Protein, AND it was my birthday! The doc could SEE the bacon in my stomach during the surgery and was angry. I got the surgery, but the doc let me know he was not pleased. Hang in there!

Wow. I thought the reason for not eating after midnight was so everything would be empty.

I ate the bacon in the morning... The reason for not eating after midnight is for the anesthesia.

Thanks for the support everyone, I buckled down and stuck to the diet and lost another 5 lbs.
