Well.... ****

I broke my liquid diet. I ate some real food. I made it a whole week and then I just stupidly, brainlessly made the decision to eat. I don't know if it's because I know I'll never have this stomach anymore or what, but I broke down and ate crap food that serves no purpose.

I'm done. No more. I want this too much to let this kind of crap get in my way. Back on the wagon tomorrow. Hope my liver isn't too messed with because of my stupidity.

Humbly moving forward.

 Well you're certainly not the first to fall off...just get back on and stay there! You'll be fine!

Thanks Mike! I just had to put it out there. I think that having some accountability, even if it is to strangers on a message board, it worth something. I want to do this and I'm going to just keep on going.

It's done and it's over with. Next!

Everyone's pre-op is different.  I was able to eat one meal a day and my liver did just fine.   Not advocating breaking your doctors rules just saying... it should be OK.

I really appreciate you saying this. I don't want to do it again, but I feel much better knowing that one meal isn't going to derail my surgery or something drastic like that. Thank you.

 Yeah, I start mine on Mon. Good Luck You will be Ok

I think the preop has to be the worst part of this whole process.  I'm scared about it and I'm not even there yet!  Best of luck to you!

The crazy thing is that it is totally not hard. You get into a rhythm of making shakes and eating Jello. I wasn't even craving when I went off, I was just absent minded. You will totally be able to do it.
