Cheating during two weeks?



Recommended Posts

As I have said many times before, stick to the plan your surgeon gave. I did not cheat on my pre or post-op diet. I am 5 months and 85lbs down and still haven't cheated. The diet is to help you prepare for surgery and your new lifestyle post-op. it is not meant to be to torturous. Sure the popular belief is that you cheat today and tomorrow is a new day, but for some it becomes once a cheater always a cheater.

After surgery, you'll need to heal and being on a all liquid diets has a purpose. Anyway, I've had my say and now I am finished. It is up to you to follow the instructions or give into temptation. That is not to say you won't ever have a bite or two of something unhealthy or indulgent, but don't make it a hobby. I've taken this surgery seriously because this as a last ditch effort to keep of weight and I won't fail.

Good luck whatever path you take on your journey.

I had to do 2 week liquid diet, and yes if you cheat try and not do carbs or sugars. I had a steak one night with a salad and the other night a chicken salad with ranch dressing. But the 2 days prior to surgery I didn't cheat. Plus you digest food fully after 5 hours I believe so it's ok :)

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
