:help:Hi, I am seriously struggling with the Prep-Op diet, so I came online for some support.

It's only day 2 for me, and I have already cheated today. I had some olives in addition to my Protein shake and chicken broth.

Dont these dr's know theres a reason why im fat in the first place? No willpower??

Sheila, don't beat yourself up over a few olives!! The real accent on the pre-op diet is to limit sugar and deplete the glycogen stores, to shrink your liver and make surgery easier.

However, that being said--this is not a "Get Out of Jail Free" card for foods. Get back on that horse and only follow what your surgeon / Bariatric Center tells you.

I know it's tough--but we need to follow the rules--because the Band has lots more rules after surgery--but it's totally worth it! Hang in there!
