What will happen if we decide not to cheat on the pre op diet?

Just thought it was time to post this again. 

1.  We'll miss out on eating some foods we like for a short time.
2.  We might crave something and might feel anxious or disappointed if we don't eat it.
3.  We might even feel hungry sometimes.
4.  We might have to deal with our feelings instead of stuffing them back inside with food.
5.  We'll detox from stuff like carbs and sugar.
6.  We'll probably lose a good bit of weight.
7.  We'll start looking at food as fuel for our bodies rather than something we eat for entertainment or other reasons.
8.  Our liver will probably shrink, which decreases the risk of needing open surgery.
9.  We'll reduce our risk of other complications, too.
10.  We'll learn that we can comply with a meal plan, even if it's hard.
11.  We'll be very proud of ourselves for doing it.

Thank you for this reminder.. I am 6 days out and feel very grateful for the discipline of the pre-op diet. I am sure it helped my recovery go as smoothly as it has. I was already used to drinking shakes, had gone through that "carb detox fog" and so I am doing well. Of course I realize I am in the early stages! BUt just as a way to encourage others to stick with the plan - the first 2 days were the hardest for me and then I really managed well with the pre-op diet.
Good luck all!
