Uh, okay?

If you're pre op, who cares. If you're post op, yes it could effect something.

Is that the answer you want?

*Edit*

Just noticed this is the pre op thread. Again, unless it's the day of surgery, who cares.

I didn't even have a pre op diet.

I start my liquid diet in 5 days, so obviously can't speak from first hand knowledge, but from speaking with a few friends of mine who have had WLS, one cheat is not the end of the world The object is to get your liver down to a safe size, so just try not to let it become a regular thing

You can do it!

Well you may or may not croke on the operating table. It's going to be pretty embarrassing when they carve a chicken wing on your tombstone!!! Ha!! Kidding. I'm sure you'll be fine but cut that crap out! And follow the rules like a good little patient!! :) :) :)

How much have you lost during the 6 months prior? I know the reason for the 2 week liquid diet is to reduce the fat on the liver but if you've lost a good bit during the 6 months the chicken wings won't matter but if you haven't, try to keep strong here on out. I'm sure you don't want to get to the "day" and then not be able to go through with it.

Now I don't feel so bad about the 4 pcs of bacon I shoved in my face on day 3 of my pre-op. ???? The guilt was unbearable though and I haven't cheated since.

On my pre-op diet chicken wings would have been just fine. Mine was 3-4 oz of Protein and a salad 3 meals a day plus 2 Protein shakes for 2 weeks before surgery.

It will be fine.

The focus should be why is it important to shrink the liver and that should motivate anyone to do their best to follow doctor's orders. One time cheat should be fine just remember everything is planned to promote the best outcomes. Best Wishes to all I start my pre op diet on Monday.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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.
