Pre op diet slips

[heav85 123]

Did anyone have any slips pre op diet. Be it big or little. If so what did you do after. Tell the surgeon? Did it hurt ur surgery date

[Elode 8,093]

Nope! But I know a lot have. If it's close to surgery date as in a day I would def tell them but if not just stop it! I know easy to say but trust me I did 14 days of it and survived, you will too! Hang in there! Good luck!

I'm on day 5 and haven't really slipped. Had one breaded mushroom yesterday and it made me sick. My daughter's bday party is coming up and I was gonna eat a hot dog or something.

I'm on day 5 and haven't really slipped. Had one breaded mushroom yesterday and it made me sick. My daughter's bday party is coming up and I was gonna eat a hot dog or something.

Unless that breaded mushroom was on your surgeon's pre-op, then you did slip. Yes, it was minor, but don't make excuses that it's okay because you got sick.

The pre-op can be mentally rough and it sounds like you're looking for the group to say it's okay so you can eat a hot dog. No one can stop you from eating the hot dog but you. Eating the hot dog may or may not get your surgery canceled. So is the hot dog THAT important to you that you're willing to risk losing a surgery that could potentially save your life?

And so you eat the hot dog and it doesn't cancel your surgery. So will eating a slice of cake be okay a few days post-op? Or maybe a slice of pizza two weeks post-op? You're giving in to your head hunger. Not an easy battle to win!

I know the pre-op is tough, but the pre-op is crucial for shrinking your liver, and it's also a jump-start to your weight loss and to a healthier lifestyle that you will need to maintain post-op and for the rest of your life.

Hang in there and don't give in to the cravings. You'll get through this and be on a great start to your new sleeved life!

I slipped up during my pre-op diet. The Friday before my Monday morning surgery I had a salad and 2 pieces of pizza. I had a successful surgery and my recovery has been great.

Well my surgery date is march 24. I've been on my preop 9 days. Today I'm gonna eat then start again tomorrow.

I did slip technically. On day 3 I was very weak, my blood sugar dropped and just felt odd. I had a piece of string cheese to get me through. At that point I had to eat something small or I wasn't going to be well enough for surgery. I did have mashed potatoes the next day, 2oz. Milk really helped me so I drank 20 oz a day, in addition to other liquids. I lost 10lbs in that week. At my pre op exam that was 3 days before surgery my NP felt my abdomen and surrounding areas and was confident there would be no issues.

I was on an 800 calorie eating plan for 2 weeks pre op and lost 10lbs. I am 5 weeks post surgery have lost a total of 3 stones. For the last week I have suffered from bad acid reflux and my nutritionist said I am eating too much. I have gone back to eating with a teaspoon and 150ml, or 150gm of food and still no better and it's painful.

i know.im an ass but i cheated almost everyday of my preop diet i was starving instead of broth i was eating top raymond and i would addd.a full.can of Beans to it. plud the first week i went out and ate salmon and fish alot with rice and potato salid and baked potato although i did stick to the two days of clear liquid before sugery, i am doing great already lost twenty pounds in to weeks and a ton of energy,and.to be honest i am also a smoker and i smoked a couple of ciggerettes the day before surgery,i am by no means advocating thease things but were humen n if u cant stick to it completely dont worry. i think.the preop diet is so u can get used to eating like that afterwards. n trust me when i say it wont be hard at all.to do that because im always full always and even when i get a little hungry a couple sips of protine shake n your full.again.
