I get sleeved on Tuesday. Last night I lost my mind and had 3 pcs of pizza. Will this effect my surgery?

dont see how it would...are you on a pre op diet?

You will be ok. Stay strict today and tomorrow. Get serious forgive yourself and go on. You can do this!!

You'll be fine. Just make sure to stick to liquids from now until Tuesday.

Many people including myself slipped up during the preop diet, for that matter when I told my surgeon after slipping up myself he told me he expects it from his patients and to just refocus and try harder. He also said for him one of the purposes of the preop diet is to help his patients get that urge to cheat out of their system before surgery when it won't do any damage. Good Luck, and it gets easier.

I wasn't given a preop diet. 3 slices of pizza the week before surgery would have been a light snack for me.

My wife and I both followed the pre-op diet to a T for one week. My wife works with a couple women who had the lap band from the same surgeon we used, and she asked them about what they did for the pre-op diet. One said 'Are you kidding? I was at Red Lobster the night before surgery', and the other one said 'I started it the day before'. These women are both nurses, who you would think should know to follow doctors orders. So no, I don't think there will be any issues.

I didn't have a pre op diet and the night before my surgery i had pizza. kind of as a last chance thing. Don't stress about it, forgive yourself and just stick to what you are supposed to do now, everything will be fine!

All these reassurances that cheating is okay are really making me want to cheat on my preop diet!! Surgery is still 11 days away!

Well, I don't think that your cheat will affect anything....altho, my surgery program requires me to lose weight prior to surgery. If I gain prior to surgery since the last time I got weighed, they postpone or cancel my surgery, so I won't have the option to cheat.

Please forgive yourself, calm down & carry on.

Don't you do it girly! You will just it eat and it will be gone. That's it! nothing magical happens except you just added more to lose...

OMG - what did you say???

tell me you didn't really eat 3 slices of pizza two days before WLS???

people have been shot for less

between you and me (everyone else cover your ears) - i went on a food funeral for almost a week prior to surgery

many people do this - not a good thing - but for some (like me) i felt i was never gonna be able to eat again, so i splurged

ok, to all that were "good little sleevers" and covered your ears - you can now take your hands off your ears!!!

to "you" that didn't listen to me - you must now have 10 Protein shakes in the next hour

course if you didn't listen to me before, i doubt you will now

of course i found out soon enough that you will eat "normal" again

you can definitely eat pizza later - just very smalllll piece

your tummy is now small - it holds a teeny bit of food that will happily make you full!!, at the same time your craving will be satisfied

you'll probably be tired Tuesday morning

you'll be nervous from worry the night before

take a nap during WLS - they won't mind

best of luck on tuesday

speedy recovery

ThAnk u for the support. I feel so guilty but am starving. I just had an Adkins shake and some chicken broth and it really didn't do much. Sooo at noon time...on a Sunday I just took an ambien and will sleep the day away so I don't cheat. This is b far the worst diet I've ever done. Tomorrow is strict liquids. No yogurt or veggies. ....one last thing. Those 3 pcs of pizza rocked. Lol. Sorry

Don't tell anyone but I had a small food funeral 1 week before Surgery! Lol

You will be just fine. Let it go. That is why we had or will getting this Surgery is because we need this tool and help. Now loose the guilt and start again. We will be here to support you too. But Really just Relax.

Good luck and wishing you a speedy Recovery!

I looked at it as a test to see how dedicated and determined I was, and to see if I was mentally prepared for the lifelong changes I was about to make.
