Slipped up on pre op diet

I started my 10 day pre op liquid diet on Monday the 13th, my sleeve surgery is the 23rd. Today was my birthday and I had such a craving for pizza that stupid me decided it was going to be a really long time before I was able to eat pizza hut pizza again so i went out with my kids and boyfriend for pizza. I had 2 pieces of pizza and 2 breadsticks plus about half glass of sprite. I went straight back to my liquids as soon as I got home and I plan to stick to my liquid diet 100% from now till surgery. Do you think everything will be ok or what do you think I should do

I did it too ...it's a struggle. I did fine for surgery. I had lost 30 lbs prior to surgery so my liver had shrunk. Plus I spoke with dietician bc I wasn't doing the optifast diet, I did an alternate. They ended up letting me actually eat small amounts lean meats salad etc. Good luck this is one of the toughest aspects of this surgery adventure. Get back on track :)

Its ok. Just dont tell your doctor because some drs have cancelled surgery because of that. I know i slipped up 2x myself... But my doctor said it will happen..just try to be strong. Actually some doctors dont require a preop diet....so technically you're doing ok

Oh my gosh I just got off the phone with surgery department and They are doing my surgery on TUESDAY not Thursday. I havent been worried about it at all and Now Im just like oh my god its in a few days. The nurse that scheduled it evidently told me the right time,but wrong day.



For all those still preop...

Please look at the calendar well ahead of starting the preop diet. If you see a special day falling during the diet phase, please celebrate early!

Yes, no sense crying over spilled milk, but let's practice putting the lid on the container ;)

Remember, today was tomorrow and will be yesterday. Therefore, you can control yesterday by what you do today. (But only starting today).

Yeah don't fight cravings they just get stronger I'm learning this the hard way I'm starting to find that middle ground but it took 2 stuck moments in 1 week accompanied by alot of shame to work it out it's best to feed the monster a snack before the munchies take over [emoji6]
