The preop diet, from my understanding, is a precautionary measure. I have my surgery on tomorrow, and I slipped big time (not yesterday or today though). But, I will be at the hospital bright and early. So, my advice would be to get up, brush yourself off, and get back on track. Not sure why, but some doctors dont require a preop diet. Some who have surgery in Mexico are sent off form their "last meal" the evening before surgery. Best wishes!:)

I have never heard of a saline laxative; but you had better be careful. This is no time to get your electrolites out of balance. Everything is absorbed in the intestine. If you are using saline; you could potentially get too much saline and end up with Fluid overload. Please at least talk to a pharmacist before using these laxatives; if they contain sodium.

Hang in there Mike! This is exactly the kind of binge that your new "mechanical willpower" will be able to help you fight better. Don't worry about any effects on your pre-op condition. If you get back up tomorrow and get back on the wagon there shouldn't be any lasting effects. If you get the drive again, hang out here on the boards, or in one of the chat communities, to keep yourself distracted.

its so tempting isnt it, to just have that 'last meal' or last binge, but try and stay focused now you are on the pre op diet.

my issue is, because it is so boiling hot, i am eating loads of sugar free ice pops, they only contain 1 caloie and apparantly nothing else, but i still feel like i shouldn't be eating them. but its a toss up between feeling boiling and eating 1 calorie, which in my head, would take 1 calorie to eat it anyway. or am i just thinking like a fat person with that theory and thinking of excuses??

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
