Has any one cheated on their two wks diet...............

whether it was the full or clear liquid? Before surgery that is......

So I have already lost the more than the amount my md required.  With that being said, my md does not require a preop diet.  I have put myself on a 2 week preop liquid diet to get my liver down.  BUT.....yesterday was my first day and I stayed on liquid all day until....I had 2 cookies.  I also had one today...but other than that, I have done great!  I know, I know pretty sad huh?  I guess if it was required I would be a better... How about you?  I am also doing a 7 day Total Body Cleanse to get my body all fresh and clean before surgery! 

Yes, I cheated today. I had fried catfish only. My MD required a two liquid. However, this is the first time I did it. I started my full liquid on Nov 4 and clear on Nov 11. I had got a migrain headache last night and this morning it would not leave so I had to do something because they would not give me any med for the headache. So I took action. I don't feel guilty but just can't wait til Tuesday when I am there to start it right for real.......

Your headache could be from dehydration, are you getting enough liquids?  yeah, I don't really feel guilty either  :>)

Yea I think so.....I drink water with crystal light and off brands, gatorade and isopure protein daily.

If you are on a liquid diet you need to be getting at least 80 ounces of water a day.  I am doing the same thing.  What flavor of Isopure?  I am trying the Apple Melon and I do not like it so much.  Does it make you feel like your tummy is not so good?

That's where I am going wrong at. I might get about 24ozs a day......I will do better starting tomorrow making sure for the next five days I at least get 64oz and working up to 80ozs. Also, I have not tried that flavor but I do like the black tea with lemon and the fruit punch. I bought a case 6 of each flavor from GNC last weekend. I will buy some more soon. Have you bought a scale already?

If you would like we can be an angel for each other while going through this....You check on me and I will check on you on your day and after.....what you think

Sounds good to me.  Send me a private message.  I HATED the Apple Melon.  It tastes like I am drinking catalope or honeydew juice and it is NOT tasty.  Even my kids hated it and they have never turned down a drink.  They even love my Medifast stuff.  LOL they are crazy!  I need to try the other flavors.  I got a sample of a protein called LiquaCel and it was okay tasting.  It is 1 ounce and had 16 g of protein + 2.5 grams of L Arganine(sp).  The L-Arganine promotes health metabolism and weightloss.  Anyway, it is grape flavored and is a little bit tart but I could handle it.  Hospitals even use it for IV supplement.  Anyway the website that sent me the sample is called www.sq1med.com   email their customer service and ask for a sample.  I have another sample coming called Fresh Start.  I will let you know what I think after I try it. 

I tried the Lemon Ice Tea and Alpine Punch Isopure flavors...they are fairly good. Right now Im drinking a Atkins Advantage Cafe Carmel...it is REALLY good. Like carmel ice coffee and Im not a huge coffee fan.

Cheating. Hmm. Yes. Sorta. Im on a 1500 calorie diet  and then two day liquid prior to surgery. If I could stick to 1500 calories I would not be so fat. Its hard but am doing ok most days and pledging to do better!

Good luck with your surgeries guys!!!!!

I am on day 10 and doing mostly really well..but my diet is not clear liquids!  is anybody elses?  that seems really hard..I get diet shakes and a salad each day..and a little fruit... seems reasonable but the urge to eat and head unger thing is kinda ugly..but i am dealing...  fortunately everything i  might be tempted by is gone from the house..its just me and my hubby and he is wonderful with it all. 

its a day and sometimes an hour at a time...but i am doing it...NOV 19th...  andcounting
