I'm leaning toward the view that you know it wasn't a good choice, you shouldn't do it again, and you'll probably be fine. There is a lot of variation in the pre-op diet programs, though I don't think any of them allow high-carb foods. Still, be good and good luck.

April 16th!! 4 days post

Thank so much to Creekimp13, Mattymatt, and S@ssen@ch for those words of encouragement. Yes, indeed I feel broken – a natural result of having dieted for decades and still weighing more than I ever have. I just needed some assurance that I wasn’t going to go through surgery and still be stuck. I’m excited and ready to go with the surgery (April 30), but it is still kind of scary, especially since I’ve never even been in a hospital over night.
it'sonlythefirststep - I’m not complaining about the pre-op diet. It is certainly doable, although no fun. Just seems like it should be more effective weight-loss-wise. But I’m sure my liver is now sleek and slim and ready for her runway debut.

Yes, they will do your surgery if you get your period. Several posters here have talked about having had that situation happen.
I was due for mine on my surgery day...but luckily the presurg diet and nerves made it come a week late.

I have my preop apt on 4-25, start my liquid diet on the 31st and surgery may 7th!! I’m so excited but very nervous. Never considered cancelling and pray it stays that way!
