I am on a 7 day pre-op but ate some fruits today out of severe hunger....has anyone experienced cheating during pre-op diets? DOes it mean my surgery will have to be postponed?

I did not have a strict pre-op diet.  I had to fast one day before, and that was just liquids.   Different surgeons have different pre-oop requirements. 

Sorry I can't help you.

Oh you're lucky! I had a 30 day skim milk diet for pre-op. It was vile, I'm not crazy about milk much less skim milk!I could have all the skim milk I could drink in 10 min. 3x a day plus all the calorie free liquids I could get down. I did cheat 3 or 4 times by eating a slice of swiss cheese, but other than that I stuck with it. It made me feel very proud of myself that I stuck to it for the most part because I felt like may be I can do this WLS and be successful. I'm still working at it because my surgery takes a long time to get there but I'm still losing so I'm happy. My advice for what it's worth is don't beat yourself up with guilt, do the very best you can and remember the one you really cheat is yourself so love you enough to suffer for a day or two and you will do fine. This is for your well being, to shrink the stomach and get it out of the way of where the surgeon has to work so it's really to your benefit to give it your best shot. Best of luck on your new life!
