I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/28 , I just got my date last Thurday. At my preop MD appt I asked my doctor about sticking to the preop diet (which he only requires for a week) and he told me to do my best and enjoy my Christmas meal with my family. Well now I feel guilty, like I went overboard. I have been on Protein Shakes since last Friday and today I had 2 regular meals. I dont know I just feel like I ruined my preop diet.........

The pre op diet is to shrink your liver, 1 day will not hurt you. Your doctor is right. jump back on the pre op diet and you will be fine!! Good luck on surgery

I am sure it will be, I am right behind you. My surgery is Jan. 22 and I have been over doing it over the holidays. I start my liquid preop diet on Jan. 8th but getting back on the nut. diet plan I was on for 6 months and hopefully lose some of what I have gained. When I first started thinking about this surgery I never thought there would be so much dieting before the surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
