I CHEATED!

actually the staple line is NOT a " bloody mess". It is perfectly clean and the mucus membranes of which it is made are as moist as they should be. Surgeons don't leave" bloody messes". 

Good for you!  You made an excellent pre-op choice!  A lot of doctors don't require a liquid diet and do two shakes and a lean protein and a green vegetable for dinner! Exactly what you did..  I hope your new blender works well!!  Good Luck next week!

Thank you so much!

I think salmon and spinach was the most healthy "cheat" I can think of.  Don't beat yourself up.  It won't hurt anything, and you still have a week to stick to the plan before surgery.  Best of luck.  You'll do great.

Thanks for the support!

If it makes you feel any better, my doctor doesn't even require liquids until 2 days before surgery. i ate a normal low carb, high protein diet until 48 hours before surgery. So far, so good. I haven't died yet.

Isn't it funny what we consider "CHEATING" now!! lol

GURL...don't beat yourself up, u done good!

If you're gonna cheat, you did it right!  I was flashing back to that pretzel craving you had last week!  You are so focused on your goal, I have no doubt you are going to be successful on this journey!  You're right, you could have ordered a cheeseburger, but you went high protein, low carb, low fat.  Doesn't get better than that!
