So my son want to go to the state fair. This is the last week for it. My surgery date is Nov. 14th, and I started my pre-op diet of protien shakes, bars, soup, and lots of water last week. Would it be hurtful is I got one thing to eat while at the fair (preferably the onion blossom) or should I just stay away from the food competely? I already gave away my chocolate popcorn I ordered from my son's fundraiser. There is a lot of walking too at the fair. I should probably just stay away right?

if you have already started your pre op diet I would stay away from it just so you don't jeopardize having your surgery pushed back it is not worth it

There will still be food available after your surgery. Best to follow 'the plan' that your surgeon/nutritionist have prescribed.

Best of luck!

My date is 11/14 too! I will be on vacation in San Diego when I start my pre-op diet. I'm just thinking of the money that I'll save from not eating out at restaurants during that time. Good luck!

should probably just stay away right?

if you would be tempted by other foods/smells - i would stay away from the fair

you are pre op - IF you could have that ONE onion blossom and stop - go for it

if you want to show your "strength" to yourself

of not eating the onion blossom at the fair, thats cool too

sometimes abstinence is best

November 14th will be a great day to start your healthier, happier, longer life

good luck

speedy recovery

So I did it. I made it through the fair without eating anything. All I did was just drink water. Everything smelled so good but I just kept telling myself that next year I will be thinner and will be able to ride more rides with my son. I wont have that excuse I am to big to fit on the ride.
