Started my preop diet last week n needless to say I cheated over the weekend. I feel horrible n even stressed out. I know i shouldn't beat myself up over it. Started over yesterday with liquids only. Just hope my cheats didn't mess up shrinking my liver.

Don't best yourself up. It happens. It is really hard. Just stay strong this week u will be fine

I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I've eaten some phase 3 stuff already. So I cheated too ????

Just get back on the horse and do your best to stay on. You'll be fine.

I too am on pre-op as I'm 9 days away (11/12) and I can't seem to curb the carbs. I think we'll be fine but I understand the struggle!

I am amazed at the fact that people can survive these pre op liquid diets and thankful it wasn't required of me !

As for the weekend, it's over now and time to get back on your program. I sAy this after two days of eating my daughter's Halloween candy( and subsequent 2 pound weight gain this morning) I have put on my walking shoes, ignoring the candy and starting over

You've got this

Thanks for the words of encouragement ☺

I'm on day 3 of pre-op and my head hurts so bad that all I want to do is drink about 6 dr.peppers and take a handful of excedrine migraine. Is this normal for my head to hurt this badly? I have migraines ANYWAY, but this is excrutiating.....

You are not a failure. You made a mistake. I had to do the pre-op diet for 2 weeks which included giving up caffeine and smoking both of which were long time habits for me and it sucked! The diet wound up being the easiest part. This is tough stuff; huge epic changes in lifestyle and thought process. ... there are bound to be some bumps in the road. Be kind to yourself, but don't self-destruct! You're almost there!

The pre-op diet is tough! I'm on my 4th day of Clear Liquids and I cheated over the weekend too. I'm back on the wagon today and I could tear one of my legs off and eat it raw right now! It's easier at work because I have people watching me but I worry about when I get home tonight and I'm by myself. I MUST BE STRONG!

I have surgery tomorrow, day 5 of pre op diet today and on our way to the hotel I couldn't take the headache anymore....i had a taco!! I. Feeling so bad now too, but hoping the Dr won't cancel my surgery.....don't feel bad...it's really tough!!

The last day is the most crucial. Please make sure ur surgeon at least knows u ate. If u have food in your stomach it could be very dangerous. :/

TMI....but I just threw up as much as I could. That scared me that it may cause complications in my surgery. I hope everything goes ok

I'm sorry to scare u. But my surgeon said if u cheat make sure u still come with a completely empty stomach. Drink lots of water. Hope it flushes out. Good luck dear! Be sure to update us!

Thank you kikicoates88 will do!

Quick update. ... in my room feeling super sleepy and tired. Surgery went well Tha k god!
