    Post 3 days....

    Surgery is 3 days away....Thursday!!!!
    I am excited and nervous. I've tried so so so SO hard on this pre op diet. I unfortunately have cheated here and there. Like had a couple baby dill pickles w/ low fat lunch meat or I made 1 egg one day I thought I was going to die (probably wouldn't have but I was sure of it). I feel guilty as all get out that I didn't obtain the 2 week liquid diet but then I don't. Since I was placed on the diet I've lost 20llbs as of today and I feel SO good physically.
    Has anyone else cheated pre op? What was their outcome?
    Thanks for listening!!!

    I'm no expert, but it sounds like you have done very well! I don't have to do a diet before surgery. Not sure why different Dr's do it differently? Best of luck! In jealous I have to still wait lol

    The main goal of liquids is to shrink your liver. Thus far I dont think you did any damage but the smaller you liver, the easier it is for your surgeon to see. Do not cheat 8 hours before your surgery! They have you fasting for a reason! Good luck! You'll do great!

    I am sure you will be fine Andrea. I can tell you that some people do not even have a pre op. My pre op was 6 days of 2 shakes a day and a meal of lean meat and veggies. I could have unlimited sugar free jello or popsicles as well. Then I had 3 days of a full liquid diet. Every pre op is completely different from intense to nothing. Good luck on your surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Just remember that week one kind of sucks but it gets a little easier each day.

    Main thing for the long preop diet is to lose the 20 pounds to shrink your liver so docs can safely operate. Mine was solids but no fat, carbs, or sugars. I had shakes to find the ones I liked for immediate preop and post op diet. However, the couple days before surgery liquid diet is so you don't have any solids in your stomach when they operate so stick to the fluids from now on. Some of the preop is also training yourself for the post op diet where you can really hurt yourself by going to solids too quickly.

    You in the worst part now. In a few days that shake will fill you up completely.
