Has anyone cheated on their pre op diet

My doctor wanted a 3 week pre op diet opposed to a 2 week diet to help lose more weight before surgery. I am almost done my first week and cheated a few times. I didn't eat a lot just a couple things here and there which weren't really bad. I was at a baby shower today and couldn't help myself. I stayed away from bread and starches but I am feeling really guilty for not being able to complete the first week with out eating food. Has anyone else had this problem?

Tomorrow is a new day! Start fresh, no guilt, just do it!!! I had the standard 2 week liquid diet, my doc lets you have pickles the first week so I added cucumbers (because pickles are cucumbers right?!?!?) and the white from a boiled egg a couple times the first week, by week 2 the urge to cheat was better and it was easier to just roll with it.

Here!....I did....not proud, but i have been finishing up my WW latte bars...eeeek...and I had 4 bags of crispy vegetables..they go on salads etc...they have 3 carbs, but the prob is there is 14 servings in a bad cuz a serving is 1 tbs. and I ate the whole bag which is about the size of a single serve potato chip bag..that is 560 cal. and 30 carbs...omg.....so the crispy veggies are gone, but i have 6 latte bars left and i just cant bring myself to throw them out......

My surgery was in February. I did horrible on my pre op diet. I would follow it all day but then have dinner every night.

I'm on my 7th day of ten and have only had herbalife shakes broth n jello I'm doing good day 1 was the hardest got easier after the third.

I am on day 3 and cheated a little already. Not proud of it... I made chicken broth with carrots and broccoli, added couple pieces of laughing cow wedges (for creamier texture) and used handheld blender to pulp it all together. I've been eating that for lunch yesterday and today... Cannot stomach jell-o.
