I'm getting nervous surgery is next Tuesday! The pre opp diet is a little hard I cheated this weekend and had a small piece of steak and a salad. What are y'all allowed to eat on your pre opp diet, i can have grits in morning then at 9 yogut at 10 apple sauce lunch is a protein shake then at 3 pudding at 5 yogurt and a protein shake for dinner.

I am slated for surgery the 28th and havent had to start my liquid diet part of the process..i glad to see you were able to eat some sorts of solids. I just hope to keep all the sick people in my office away until then. Congrats and Good Luck!

Yea i have a cold now that I'm trying to get rid of. Good luck with everything!

Please don't cheat anymore. It' defeats the purpose. The pre op diet is hard for several reasons... To shrink your liver for a successful surgery, to teach you you can survive on limited calories and in my case (since I was on a 2 week liquid pre op diet ) that I didn't need to eat food to survive...I just needed nutrition. Also I don't know what kind of post op diet you'll be on my mine was liquids for 2 more weeks then mushies.... So I was an old pro by the time that came around.

Best wishes for a successful surgery.

I'm not planning to I have been on it for a week now and that was the only time I ate.

Yep... nervous is normal. Best wishes!

Your nerves are very normal. I was on a preop diet for a whole month. Three Optifast shakes per day, 2 cups of vegetables at night. I wasn't 100% compliant and there were a few nights I did have Protein with my vegetables when the hunger was really bad, my doctor said it was fine.

I still lost over 22 pounds that month and my liver had shrunk enough for a safe operation.

Best wishes to you!
