Today was my daughter's 6th birthday guys, and I'm Just almost a week into my pre-op diet, and with all the stress and trying to talk and please everyone and entertain... I MESSED UP.... I had a slurp of (corona) beer, a piece of chocolate sponge cake with fresh cream, wedges, and chicken with batter on it (southern style),

just after I downed a whole piece of chicken and was feeling super-full

my brother goes: 'Hey, are supposed to be eating ANY of this?'...

and it dawned on me...

hit me like a tonne of bricks...

slammed me in the face...

WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE...

I didn't even think, Its like I was in fast forward speeding through all that food/carbs/sugar...

its now 7.30 and I stopped eating at about 4pm..and the guilt is KILLING ME,

not only that but I'm so worried that I won't be able to recover from here... I only have a week and 2 days left... will my liver shrink in time if I'm hella good from here on out?

Be honest, has anyone else MASSIVELY EFFED UP like I just did today? were you ok for surgery day?

HELP

Relax. Get back on track today. I am sure you will be fine for surgery- my pre-op diet was a Protein Shake and two "sensible" low fat meals, adding up to 1000 calories a day. Breathe. Stop beating yourself up, you will be fine.

Here is what is recommended if you mess up on your preop diet.

1. Relax and don't stress or over think the situation

2. If you cheat again refer to rule number one.

Dont be like me and eat a 12oz steak the night before surgery and you will be fine.

Don't stress it. My daughter's birthday was during my pre-op and I PLANNED to cheat! I told my Dr. Even before I cheated and he gave me to go ahead. He told me just to get right back on plan the next day. Which I did and my liver was tiny! Plus I only had to do pre op diet for one week not 2. So you will be fine.

This thread made me feel better. I have had small cheats like some almonds and some baked potato chips, but I was told I was allowed to have 2 sensible meals anyway. However I have been doing my best to stick to a liquid diet so those few cheats probably aren't far from what I could be eating.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
