Will one solid food really undo EVERYTHING?

So...I've been asked to be on a 14 day preop liquid diet - no other restricitions - no set weight loss, strickly to shrink my liver...

I'm on day 11 and honest to goodness have not cheated ONE time! However...that is beginning to start to look like it's not going to hold out...I have never wanted a hamburger or even a SANDWICH for crying out loud so very badly! I just want to chew something that i'm not supposed to have...my husband thinks it will just send me over the edge and make me want something else...but i honestly do not think so...i think it will satisfy my need and i can then move forward...however, i'm scared to death that somehow that one item will suddenly blow back up my liver and put fat back around it - can that really happen with one item - we're not even talking a "meal" just an item... i've lost 15 lbs pre op if that matters any...any thoughts???

You can do this...have a SF Jello, or SF popsicles (these were a lifesaver for me post-op, they even come in tropical flavors...and you get that 'chew' feeling. I've heard of people chewing things then spitting them out (gross, but it's better than cheating). It's all about the choices we make and you'll still have that post-op (not that I've been perfect at all). Good luck. -BG

Good luck, you will not eat a hamburger or sandwich after your surgery.. and the part about you wanting one doesn't go away after surgery its a mind thing. I've been banned since Oct 08 and have not eat a piece of meat since the week before... I have looking at recipes from others that have been banned and i don't eat anything like them. I hope nothing is wrong with me... i have had 5 fills under fluroscope and she says everything is ok.. so...
