Most people cheat a day or two in their pre op diet... Is a good thing? no... will it cause them to cancel your surgery... Not at all... you are not gonna get a bunch of fat on your liver from 1 cheat meal...

Thank you. Im so scare, i drink magnesium citrate tonight to flush everything i ate. I dont know if it will help. Thank you for your kind words ❤️

I did not cheat, not even one bite or one sip of anything. Mine was actually a 10 day pre-op and I did it for 14 days!

My surgeon was clear, if you gain ANY weight from your final weight check and the day of surgery he will cancel your surgery right there at the hospital.

I worked too hard for this, put in too much effort. Noting was stopping me. I lost 19 lbs in the 14 days.

I doubt 1 cheat would make you gain weight, it just wasn't worth the risk for me. Sometimes 1 cheat .. spirals out of control and it just wasn't worth it for me.

taking a laxative is not going to make any difference in your liver size. Plus, I'd give that habit up. That's part of "diet mentality" (and extreme diet mentality at that - that's more bulemic mentality), and we need to get beyond disordered habits like that.

You'll be fine. Just get back on track and don't venture to the other side again. You can do this!
