I suggest you DON'T CHEAT they give you the pre-op diet not to torture you but to MAKE YOU LIVER SMALLER for surgery and get you ready for the life style change you are about to have to make and the post-op diet for the will close to the pre-op and if you cheat then you won't heal correctly. so if you can't stick to your preop I suggest you strongly think about the surgery because  it isn't a quick fix to help you lose weight it is tool to change your life style that caused you to get  the weight you are. I know that sounds harsh but I'm not trying to be mean I am just stating the FACTS. Good luck but STAY ON YOUR PREOP diet.

Thanks for your advice.  I'm not sure where I gave them impression that this was a quick fix...I know better than that.
I'm not doing this surgery for the weight-loss.  I'm doing it to save my life.  (that sounds so dramatic)
I had a heart attack at 43.  I am an out of control diabetic with all sorts of other things wrong with me.  If I don't have this surgery, I know what's in store for my future; stroke, another heart attack, etc.
