How's everyone who is on the pre op diet going? I am on day 6 and haven't cheated once! I have honestly surprised myself. I even took the kids to McDonals for dinner tonight and didn't even eat one chip.

Im having Optifast shakes and bars less than 800 cals a day. I have been having one tea spoon of margarine with garlic and frying zucchini, tomato and eggplant for dinner.

I have lost 4.3 kg so far or 9.4lbs

Hope everyone else is doing well too.

Doing well. I've cheated once... I had a bite of a hot dog (no bun, just a small bite of hot dog my son left on plate). I'm down 7 pounds after my first week. Pretty pumped up. Congrats on your progress. That's awesome!

Its going better... i drink two shakes during the day and have sugar free jello if i feel the need to eat...then dinner is salad usually.. im doing good..lost 10 pounds in 5 days..havent weighed since...trying to stay off the scale and not obsess over numbers..i find i am not that hungry very much... i do cheat on purpose..at the end of a 7 day stretch of eating on plan...i allow one meal thats off plan( however its due to the face that im expected by my pcp to be on a diet for over a month and two weeks prior to surgery) When i get down to 14 days prior to surgery...then its strictly no cheating on anything..but until then..i can survive 7 days of dieting followed by one meal of my choice amd then back to the diet again

I'm doing well on the food part which is shakes and veg soup. Not as great on weight loss. Lost 6 lbs and then haven't lost anything in 6 days . But I haven't cheated despite out of town trips, wedding receptions, and other challenges so I can be happy about that.
