I replied to your post several hours ago but my reply never showed up, so forgive me if 2 posts eventually do show.  My intent is not to "nag" you.

DON'T cheat!!!!  I can not stress how important it is for you not to cheat.  There have been people on this board that have been denied surgery because they cheated on their pre-op diet.  The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver.  When you cheat, and eat the wrong foods your liver will not shrink properly.  That will increase your risk of bleeding or other complications during surgery.  Being that it is so close to your surgery date too, cheating is really not a good thing.  Many obese people have undiagnosed metabolic disorders and digest food very slowly.  The last thing you want is for your surgeon to open you up and find undigested food.  That just increased your surgery time, put you at very high risk for infection, and added potentially more complications.

I know how hard it is.  I recently did the pre-op diet myself for 16 days.  Hang in there, you can do it!  

Hi Elizabeth!
I am scheduled for the day before, 7/28.  I started my pre-op diet yesterday and wowza!  It's tough but I am so excited.
How do you feel with the day so close?

So I have been completly faithful on my pre op diet... the only sweets I've had in almost 2 weeks is sugar free jello and protien drinks. I've lost 10lbs since I started. My surgery is Monday. The problem is that I am dying for a real meal. I want to go to a chinese buffet so bad I can't stand it...just somthing as a final fairwell. Do u guys think cheating this once will effect my surgery or make me gain all the weight I lost back?

 I would love to be part of the July sleever's list.  My date is July 27th and I can hardly wait!!!!!

Thank you and best of luck to everyone.

 Can't wait.  My date is the 27th, too!  You'll be in my thoughts.  Let's slim down together.  Yea!!!!
