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. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
