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.

OMG - what did you say???

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

people have been shot for less :lol:

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 :lol:

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

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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
