I know this is not an excuse and I shouldn't have done but I did. Hardcore. I was traveling on business my first three days of the preop diet and it was super hard to get out of the paid for lunches and dinners and what have you. I did pretty well on the first two days but the last day we went out to Ruth Kris Steakhouse and well, you can figure out the rest :/ is the preop diet a lost hope now ??? I'm jumping back into routine on day 4 and plan on fully sticking with the pre op, but really it was super hard with travel. #vent

You'll be fine, don't worry. How many days is your pre-op diet?

Don't sweat it, as long as you jump right back in and stick to the plan. I also struggled with my pre-op diet and had some cheats, but we're not perfect and it can happen. Just do what you know you have to do and keep moving forward.

I am going to be totally honest here..... I cheated too. Couple times. I was so worried my liver would be big and slippery and they wouldn't be able to perform surgery. To make matters worse I have high cholesterol so one could assume I have an even 'fattier' liver than someone who does not. My surgeon said my liver was just fine and everything went very smooth. Try and stay on course now. Forget about it, move on and do better tomorrow. :)

I'm getting my op on Monday and I have not been an angel with my pre op diet either ????

I have wondered about it & I do try every day and I am a good 85% true but I am not making 100% I don't think it will make much difference. Maybe pain afterwards will be worse? I don kno.

Ppl have major emergency surgery every day and r ok so they are trying to make an ideal situation but the reason we are getting the surgery is we can't control our eating so, what dya expect? Xx

Keep going forward. You will have issues following surgery also, and you have to learn to make this surgery work or fail. Our NUT said we have one honeymoon period following the sleeve to lose the weight, and if we do not eat right, we won't lose the weight.......

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
