It won't prevent you from having your surgery. Just get back on track and follow your plan! Good luck!!

Best to talk to your surgeon. They are the ones with ultimate control over whether or not you have surgery.

You should be fine. people have eaten worse and still had the surgery.

I'm not condoning it, but truthfully, I had salad everyday for lunch. I was suppose to have liquids all day & one meal at night (Protein & veggie only). The liquid diet was very difficult. Fortunately I was still able to have the surgery. However, I should mention, my surgeon said my liver didn't shrink as much as he wanted ( I lost 15 # in two week) but he was still able to complete the surgery without incident-thank God.

You'll be fine, search through and you'll see tons of these same post. It would be pretty sad if you got denied over cereal though...Now, stop that crap! You have to suffer just like the rest of us did! It's a right of passage!!! Ha! :)

You will be just fine just get back on track right now and stick to the plan. You have worked too hard to get yourself denied now.

Good luck!

Don't feel guilty, we have all made mistakes in the past and probably will in the future!

Let your surgeon know though and good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
