i am having a bad couple of days..... sick kid at home   husband problems  i mind is telling me to smoke or eat ....  i cheated and ate some  foods during the 1st week of my pre op diet...  did i screw everything up??????  how can i recover and still have the surgery. i do not want to get to my surgery date and the dr say nope  did not lose enough weight --  to scared to call the nurse and ask



please help

Call Paula. Be prepared for a lecture but it will be delivered with love and compassion...and a swift kick! LOL

Pick up where you messed up and start again, you can do this. Stick to it, you will be so glad you did!

You want to do everything you can to shrink your liver. It's not so much about losing a certain amount of weight pre-op as it is shrinking the liver so they can perform the surgery safely. If they get in and don't feel they can safely complete the surgery laproscopically they will open you up and you want to avoid that if at all possible.

Dr Lynch was my surgen as well...

I hate to admit, but I also cheated on my preop diet.  Day three - huge IHOP meal (omlete, pancakes, and soda!!).

The thing that I took from that was, as Susan said, to pick up from where you fell and get back on it.  Just don't do it again!!

The whole goal is NOT to lose weight, but to shrink your liver.  Not because the Doctor wants to make your life living HELL, but for safety and a more successful surgery.

Good luck.

I cheated on my diet.  the night before surgery I ate 2 rolos. Let me say that again.  Two PIECES, not packs, of Rolos! lol.    I thought I would never have them again, and it was the last thing I wanted to remember.  

But, I have heard of surgeons *****fused to do surgery on folks who ate a hamburger the night before, or something big... 

Get back on track, and know that you CAN do it!  We're here cheering for ya!

 I haven't eaten candy in years. However, now that I'm trying my best to lose some weight this month before surgery, I broke down and bought a bag of Reese's  chocolate wrapped peanut butter things. It's just one bag, but I realize I'm a choco-peanut butter addict! I hate Halloween!

thanks everyone!!!!   tomorrow i am to start my 4 protein shakes a day with no food.  i am hoping that as long as i do not cheat next week everything will be okay  .  my stress reliever USED to be smoking food and pepsi.  i tried to pick the better of two evils.....food and pepsi.....i try to remember that i am doing this so i can be healthly and live a long life for my 2 kids   i wi**** was a couple pieces of candy that i cheated with  mcdonalds kid meal  for lunch --  the only meal i have eaten all day  --  i will pray for strength that i was do this next week   thanks for all your help and i hope to post more postive info next time  ( a couple of days after 11/9 when i am at home after a successful surgery)  hope to meet you all someday at a meeting
