Anyone cheat on optifast???

Hi, just 4 days away from surgery and I go blow it.  I cheated.  I am so upset with myself.  I think about it and ask myself "was this worth it"  NO, it's not.  I just am so depressed about this.

Will this affect my surgery?   What will happen now?

Did anyone eat on optifast?  I am so angry with myselt. 
thanks
Maggie

They will not cancel your surgery for one stumble.  
Learn from it
Move on.

It is incredibly hard to adhere to the optifast regime...but so worth it as it makes life easier for you and for the surgeon come surgery day.


Remember to keep drinking water....drink those shakes and think about the new life  you are about to embark on!

stop beating yourself up. If we were perfect, none of us would need the surgery. Now you just need to move forward and keep your eyes on the prize, that new skinny you that will soon be here. Get back to your opti ASAP and get those fats and carbs out of your body before your surgery.

Ok so you cheated.  Now you just have to get pass it and do the optifast.  I know its hard but its not for along time.  The nurse at our centre has a good saying for those having trouble with optifast.  She tells you to just suck it up and do it.

A friend of mine told me that when I was having so much trouble in the 1st few days so now I am passing that on to you.  You can do this just keep thinking of the benefits all this is going to bring you.  You wil make it.

No I didn't cheat on optifast.....I did what had to be done because I knew when I was accepted as a WLS patient that I was given an incredibly wonderful opportunity that some people aren't given.

What's done is done - don't beat yourself up - optifast is hard.  Like others have said - learn from it - what were the triggers stuff like that and move on.

You are almost there!

I was told if they open you up and find find food in your stomach they are going to close you right back up again - the whole point of optifast is to cleanse out your system and shrink your liver! I know it is very hard but you have to look at the big picture at the end - it makes it all worth it!

I just had my education class and learned this on Wednesday - so for those of you who are considering of cheating think twice!!!!

Good luck to you! Dont beat yourself up - were human!!!

I didn't have to do Optifast. I did have to do strictly liquids 24 hours prior. Slipping at this point won't negativelty affect your surgery but try not to again, especially the day or two before surgery.

If the fat around your liver hasnt shrunk enough.. they will close you back up (according to the RN at Guelph). 

One time falling off the wagon probably wont do anything.... but you have had a rough time with the optifast.. I really feel for you. 

Whats done is done, you can't change that.. Just get back on track, you are almost there ! 

You can do this !    We are all routing for you.
