Pre-Op Diet... making sense???
As much as I HATE this pre-op diet I have worked very hard to stay on it. and with only 2 days to go I have cheated. I have really wanted pizza the last few days and today I convinced myself that I had 4lbs more than the doc had wanted me to loose and so I had some toppings. All within reason. I ate 3 pepperoni's and a table spoon of shredded Parmesan. I know it doesn't sound like much and in the course of what I would usually eat (an entire pizza) it was great.
Well now I regret it! I don't regret the way it tasted and the fact that I gave in to an urge. I regret it because my face feels greasy and it just didn't taste the same as it would have 2 weeks ago. I can't believe I have changed this much and I haven't even had the surgery. It makes me excited to see a glimpse into what will be my life and my determined success.
So to wrap it all up... this pre-op diet is starting to make sense to me.
I have had pizza toppings when my family was ordering pizza. It was good...not as good as I used to feel about it. At the end of the day its just a bit of cheese and some meat...not the best quality of protein but in a pinch and if it gets you over the craving I think its worth it! :)

except that she is on her preop diet...
Remember the point of the pre-op diet is more to shrink the liver than to lose weight. The weight loss is a bonus but eating fatty/greasy foods is a big no no. Just stay strong, it is worth it in the long rung. Sticking to the pre-op diet also loads you up with protein which will speed healing. Stay the course and you will make your destination.
