I called my surgeons. Office. They weren't too happy. Told me to get back on track right away. Said that the surgeon requires the 2 week post-op diet in lieu of the "bowel prep" before surgery which consists of drinking a bottle of magnesium citrate and pooping your brains out for a day. Idk.... I think I'd like to have a "last meal" and go through the poop-a-thon for a day, rather than starve myself and be pooping my guts out anyway on all these liquids...... Anyone post-op that cheated on their pre-op diet out there???

Never had a pre-op diet, it's not that necessary, post op you will be forced not to eat

your sleeve > you

At the end of my first week, I caved with a slice of pizza, and I felt so guilty. On the morning of surgery, I was disappointed to find out that I had only lost 11 pounds on that torturous diet, so of course I blamed the pizza. Get back on, you'll feel a lot better if you stick to it.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has done that! I think I've lost 10 lbs but I don't think the Surgeons office will be able to tell since I gained a bunch after the preliminary weigh in at the consultation. Sigh..... Oh well. I think I need to find a support group to go to...... Thank you to all of you for your responses and support!
