Have anyone cheated on their 10 days diet

Hey there,

You'll get a wide variety of responses about "cheating" on your pre-op. I chose not to. I wanted to do everything I was instructed to get in the best shape I could before surgery. You have to trust what your doctors instruct you do to. It is in your best interests. Remember, just because some have no issues when not following their pre-op, doesnt' mean you wont'. Do you really want to be on the bad side of that statistic? If you feel you need more to eat/drink on your pre-op, call your NUT, ask them what you should do. Why risk it? You and your health are worth far more than a single meal or snack.

Good luck!

Nope. Followed it to a 'T' to do what I could to have a safe surgery.

I hate to admit that I didn't really do the pre-op diet. In fact, the day before surgery around noon, I had 2 knockwursts with baked Beans. Used Mag Citrate to clean out my gut late that afternoon/night. I did well in surgery; went home in a few hours. BUT...the primary reason we're asked to do the pre-op diet is to decrease the size/volume of the liver for safety.

Post-op cheating...I was really good in the early days (I'm now at 6w 2d; 30 pounds gone), but when my blood pressure dropped to a better range, at first, it was too much, I felt dizzy and lethargic, so I sucked on potato chips for a little salt. I can't do that regularly though, because they dissolve in your mouth and next thing you know, they are down your throat. No.

You're going to cheat--or, have mroe than only Protein stuff--a bit here and there, but remember the goal and get back on the horse for best results, especially in the early weeks/months. The great thing about the sleeve, you can pretty much eat what you want, you just can't have a lot of it! Good luck.
