Cheated on my pre-op

Well everyone... I caved and ate food on my third day in of my pre-op liquid diet. I went into Walmart and legitimately bought my Protein shakes and sugar free Jello etc. I paid then walked out to my car, loaded the groceries and said fu*k it I'm going to Subway! I consciously made this decision. I'msatisfied that I'm full but now a nervous wreck that I just messed everything up. Surgery is in 11 days. October 6th. Has anyone else cheated?!

I am only 2 days into to this 2 week liquid diet and I want food soon bad. I have to cook my daughter some dinner shortly and I want so bad to eat what she is having.

Don't worry! Now that I'm a few days in I am slowly feeling better and so will you. Just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this!

Probably most of us. LOL. I remember my surgeon saying he found a hamburger in one's stomach, so I had it in my mind he could find what I ate.

Thats crazy! I can understand cheating on the liquid diet (i admit to cheating with eggs and beans), but def not the day before or day of.

I'll admit that I did take a bite of my daughter's chicken, chewed it up and spit it out. Never swallowed it! Does it count as cheating? Even after doing that I felt guilty. So I doubt I will do that again. Found a few more recipes for soup/broth so will try those to help with the desire to have something savory.

Make sure u drink tons of water. I've cheated a couple times. I felt so sick after. But drinking water helps no gain from the sodium,sugars etc

I cheated about 10 days prior to mine too. I had fajita veggies and guacamole. I Had just come off a stressful weekend of being made a department head of something that was decidedly not my job. I snapped.

I was reading this and seeing that everyone is on the pre-op diet. I am as well, but i'm allowed 2 Protein Shakes and a sensible meal... not all liquid... 2 days before surgery I am on total liquids only. while I know some meals aren't as sensible as others, the subway meal could have been a lot worse... could have been a whopper and fries... Just keep going and get back on track! You got this! Good luck on your upcoming surgery and continued success!!

I am on my pre-op too and it is similar to yours. I get three Protein shakes, two Protein Bars or two Greek yogurts, and a sensible dinner. I agree with you that the cheating could have been worse!

I cheated a little today and yesterday. My surgery is on October 11 so I still have over a week. I am not cheating any longer because 1. I want to lose more weight (lost about 10lbs on pre-op diet so far) and 2. I don't want the surgeon to have issues with seeing when he opens me up.
