Has anyone ever cheated on pre op diet? :/
Many have.
But I wouldn't do it.
If you have cucumber, gnaw on that or iceburg lettuce (no dressing) something that is less caloric
I would keep in mind the prize at the end of the road.... you'll have to spend your life being compliant to the rules, don't fall at the first hurdle.

Sure, some people do. That doesn't mean you should, of course.
You could eat anything you want. Who is going to stop you? But if you mean is there anything you should eat, well, you should eat whatever is on your surgeon's plan for the pre op diet.
Yes, it's hard. You can do hard things. Lots of us have done a pre op diet and we lived through it. You can too.

I've heard of times when the surgeon's pre-op liver-shrinking diet is cheated on, andd the doc makes all the incisions, and takes a look-see.... and he sees a very fatty liver and realizes that there's no way to do the surgery. So he closes you up. You have four or five incisions, and no weight loss surgery because it is not safe.

One MAJOR reason for a preop diet is to reduce fatty liver deposits. If your liver has too much fatty tissue, it's very difficult for the surgeon to do the LAP procedure. I remember I got a surprise in the operating room when I had my RNY. I had to sign a waiver for the surgeon that basically stated that I was expecting the LAP procedure, but if "conditions warranted", I authorized the OPEN procedure. I'd lost a little over 25 pounds on my preop diet, so I really wasn't worried. But not adhering to preop dietary guidelines may leave you with a big scar and weeks of unneeded pain. My advice. DAVE
