I did slack off once I got approved for surgery.....haven't been to my last weigh in but know it's going to be a disappointment.

During my two week pre-op diet (1,000 calorie low fat), I had to attend a wedding. I gave it up that night. I had two drinks (vodka and club), three shrimp from the shrimp cocktail platter during cocktail hour, half of my filet mignon and some of the fancy potatoes and two mini canoli from the dessert table. (This was on Friday, my surgery was on Tuesday). If I it weren't the wedding of a dear friend's son, I wouldn't have splurged (or even gone, but we had RSVP'd before I got my surgery date). But everything was fine. We are human. We are going to slip up. We just need to get right back on track.

I splurged on eggs Benedict the day before surgery. No problems.

Yes, pre op is different than newly post op.

I think when people get the most judgy is when you're 5 days post op and eating pork chops, Swedish Fish, steak etc. Then it's a matter of being concerned someone is going to physically hurt themselves.

I personally could care less if someone "cheats" pre op (as long as it's not going to interfere with the safety of their surgery) and further out post op. They only have themselves to answer to, anyway. Besides, as someone very wise on this forum once said, it's not cheating, it's a CHOICE.

And when you're posting on a public forum, you can't ask people to answer the way you'de like them to so your fee fees don't get hurt.

I wouldn't say I cheated, as The information was given to me on the Monday before my Friday surgery. Because of health issues, many of the things on the "don't" list had already been eradicated from my diet.

Do your best. It helps with a clean surgery which can make for a much easier recovery!

I didn't "cheat" pre-op and I'm human.

Why call it cheating when you are simply making a choice to eat off plan? You're grown, it's your body. It's up to you to treat it how you please.

I had 2 weeks liquid diet and didn't have anything not on plan. It sucked but my goal was to beat head hunger and cravings prior to surgery.

I was on a 2 week Optifast diet and i did take a bite of fried chicken once. Didnt effect my surgery.

Seems to me like you want others to talk about it so you feel better about what you did.. But me having something off plan PRE op is a whole lot different than you trying to rip your stomach open by eating chicken breast n salad when it hasn't healed yet and you're still on liquids.. Thats your choice it would scare me

Munky

i had a can of tuna for 2 nights on my pre op. frankly my surgeon didn't seem too worried about being 100% on plan. i told him i was nervous about it and he was like, eh.. try your best.

Are you concerned about your ability to follow through with the lifestyle changes post-op?
