Has any one cheated on their two wks diet...............
I am on a all liquid diet for 2 weeks. I want my liver as small as possible before surgery. It is hard but well worth the reduced risk of complications. I am also doing a 7 day total body cleanse, which had made me have WAY more energy. Anyway, keep up the good work. I am at the end of my 3rd day and this morning after just 2 days I had already lost 5lbs. Before my liquid diet I have been on Medifast (low cal 600-800/day) for the past month. I have lost a total of 28lbs. My md does not require this liquid diet so it is my choice to do this to be healthier, just as it is and will be our choice on how/what to eat after surgery as well.
I am on day 4 of 14 of my pre-op diet: Optifast 900, up to 4 a day, plus 1 cup clear soup broth, 1/2 cupp balkan yogurt, celery/carrot sticks, and get this.... 4 halves of rinsed canned apricots. And diet soda, of course.
Day 1 was just optifast, i didn't know i could have the rest. It was hell.
Day 2 -3 I got some soup and yogurt, and thought wow!
Tonight I am going to add inthe celery or carrot, and try to keep it that way for the weekend. I am leaving the apricots for last. Partly bcz i think I will enjoy them the most, LOL. Partly bcz I don't have them yet.
I haven't cheated yet, but I am not done yet.
I just keep thinking "small liver is better!"
