I cheated on mine with a fountain diet dr. pepper. And mmmmm it was good. I remember thinking, it was going to be that or a Big Mac from McDonalds. Glad I stuck with the soda. It was weird too, because I had given soda up for 3 months prior to that.... SMH.

I remember I did SOOOO much research trying to convince myself that I could eat something and it wouldn't hurt me. I researched it so much one night, that my craving went away. I'd stay course. You will be glad you did.

do you have a bowel prep? The only reason I ask is because you may want to do some enemas. My surgeon required Clear Liquids the day before surgery because they want to make sure your bowel is completely empty. A pizza the day before surgery could derail you. I've heard people getting their surgeries postponed.

For safety, you need to make the surgeon aware of this since if your stomach is not completely empty at the time of surgery it could lead to some serious complications like peritonitis. You might want to check with them to see if you need to take some Mag Citrate or something to clean you out. If you are having bypass it could be even more serious.

I was supposed to do clear liquids the day before surgery.

Confession .... I ate a burger that morning.

I was also doing the magnesium citrate bowel prep in the afternoon, and figured I'd be cleared out anyway.

I'm sure you will be OK. I'd ask your surgeon if there is any doubt. But congrats, and good luck tomorrow!

I confess I cheat eating snack crackers or hot Cheetos. I'm a month and a half out and I'm still on liquids because I wasn't getting my fluids in. I confess I'm jealous of my husband and kids because I cook them a yummy dinner and I drink mine or eat a pickle pop. I love seeing people eat especially what I've cooked, but I'm sad I can't even eat tuna

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
