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...

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!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
