Surgery went well! Finally coherent enough to type. No pain yet, but I had a morphine shot just before surgery. Been doing sips of Water since 7:00 in the evening.

I didn't have my husband stay with me. It was pointless for him to be there once I was in my room b/c I was out for the count. I do remember most of my visitors, but I couldn't see straight or carry on a conversation. He would have been bored sitting there watching TV while I slept.

I was having trouble with my liquids too! I had surgery on 7/7 and have been afraid to over do it, however my doctor told me that if I warm them up instead of trying to drink them cold it would help and it has a great deal. I'm supposed to start on protein tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes down.

@OutsideMatchInside trust me that mess-up was a huge smack in the face. I will definitely pay closer attention when I'm preparing food for the kids.

You should be okay, but this is something to think about going forward. You will be able to eat things like crackers easily after surgery, maybe easier than dense Protein, and you need to think about ways to make sure you don't mindlessly eat them.

Yes. Don't even worry about it.

The most important thing is you caught yourself and realized what happened. Nobody's perfect - you'll be fine. The most critical day is the day before and day of surgery. The whole reason for the liquid diet pre-op is to get your liver to shrink (Ketosis) so the surgeon would be able to perform the procedure. All the best!

I'm scheduled for surgery on Thursday, July 7th and I was getting lunch ready for my kids. Without even realizing what I was doing I had eaten a few crackers. It was that stupid habit of mindlessly eating and I'm so afraid that I messed things up for my surgery. Other than this slip I have followed my 2 week pre-op diet to a T! Am I going to be ok?? I feel like such a dummy.
