The pre-op diet isn't about losing weight it's about shrinking your liver to help the surgeon. You can cheat and run the risk that the surgeon will open you up and not be able to do the surgery. You're the only one that can make that decision.

The weight loss will show, it's a fact but obviously just isn't showing on the scales yet. It will if you leave it a few more days.

However if you eat tonight and drink wine, mentally you'll be letting yourself down! Stay in the zone. The food and wine may not be very harmful but will you be able to get back on track tomorrow?

My advice is stay strong and tomorrow you'll be really glad you did.

Suwie, please stick to your liver shrinking diet.

If they try to do operation and find you havent tried (yes they can tell) they can refuse to do operation. When i had my operation they found my liver was too large even though i had lost a stone on pre-op diet. I now have a balloon fitted to loose a bit more weight but was told they could have refused to do operation!!!

The pre op diet isn't about weight, it's about liver shrinkage, weight loss is a side effect. It's also a mental preparation for your new life, cheat and take a risk of not having your surgery but don't ask permission to do so, you are in control of you fate. I don't want to sound harsh as we have felt like this but for me surgery was more important than a quick fix of food or wine and I wasn't going to ruin my chance of long term happiness.
Only you can decide.

That's why we are here! We've all felt the same and will have many more temptations on this journey. But keep posting and we will all be able to support one and other.
