Did you not get a diet plan from your surgeon, nutritionist, ect...? Its hard to give you advice on what to eat without knowing what stage you are in?

Dec 6 surgery date
I can't tell you if you messed it up or Not but If I were you I would do as your told. Your surgeon has a plan for you and they expect you to be compliant with it. I have heard Of surgeons canceling surgeries for non- compliant patients. My surgeon would Have and he made that perfectly clear he told me if he opens up a to do surgery and the liver is too big he would close back up and that's that. Its too dangerous to do surgery on your stomach if you have a big fatty liver which is common with over weight people.

How do you guys eat out...
I haven't gone out to eat yet but you could go to subway and have the give you meat and cheese, or a salad if you can handle that. I would opt for a meat and cheese type platter though. Also if you Have to go through a drive-thru McDonald's will sale you just a grilled chicken breast and Wendy's has a good small chili. If you are dinning in Mexican restaurants have fajitas you could have that and skip the tortilla, Chinese egg drop soup would be a good choice, Ok I'm out of ideas now : )

I want to punch things!
Well good news is if you stick with the "diet" it should start to get easier! I know the pre-op sucks I was on all liquids for 14 days BUT the diet doesn't suck as much as prison food so try not to kill any co-workers or end up on "wives with knives" lol!! Hang in there!!!
