I am becoming obsessed about the preop diet. I am doing liquids now but did eat meats. Plus I am pms-ing and have water weight. I am scared I won't shrink the liver enough.

Maybe I just need a Xanax lol

When I had my lap band placed, I did 2 weeks of mostly liquids the program had set for me. Tempted as I was, I did not cheat. Not even once. But my diet included veggies, jello, sf puddings so that I could at least chew something. I had mor issues with wanting to eat after surgery than on the diet. I'm not looking forward to just liquids again but I can do it. So can you! Just think of what you're gaining

I was very tempted to cheat but I didn't! I was so proud of my self.

About two days before surgery I was so tempted to attack my daughters happy meal but the I had visions of them opening me up and finding a chicken nugget in my stomach. Lol

LMFAO that's so funny. Glad you were strong.

The best thing to do is probably follow your surgeon's instructions. My surgeon didn't require a two week pre-op liquid diet of any kind. I survived

Lol I find I look at people's food. I feel like I am a crazy person glad my husband isn't home yet from base, he is coming home on leave just in time.

Diesel, what did you cheat with?

Pony, do you had no pre op diet? Were you very heavy? I am starting at 250. But they require it for all their patients.

I am do grateful for this app!

Army wife-my surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet whatsoever other than following the FDA's food plate (the healthy way to eat). He doesn't need to shrink the liver. He's just that awesome! It must be torture for you guys to have to deplete yourselves two weeks prior. I would think that would make you very weak for surgery. But I would follow the instructions you are given. Compliance is difficult but it's also successful. Best wishes!

I didn't cheat as far as the liquid diet because I took that as my first big challenge. 2 days before surgery we went to El Paso and I ate a big meal at Famous Dave's BBQ as my last splurge and also as a celebration of not cheating and losing the weight. I can say if you are faithful to your liquid diet you WILL lose the needed weight. Don't let the evil cheater voice get you off course. You got this!

Hahahahaha!!!!!! You totally think like me!!!!! Love it!!

The liquid diet is very challenging . Yesterday was my daughters first holy communion and we had a party with a lot of really good Italian food . I ate a very little .
