I am male 54 6"2" and 340 lbs. I am scheduled for out of pocket lap sleeve on 9-30 and I love good wine. I have an ongoing nerve issue from a previous surgery on my right foot so I take Vicodin. At night the pain flares and i admit to needing the wine to help deal with it. What kind of carbs are in wine that will hinder my 14 day preop diet?

You'd have to look up the carb content but yes it will hinder your pre op diet- so will the vicodin.

You are trying to shrink your liver before surgery to reduce risk of injury to it- and both alcohol and vicodin

are not conducive to shrinking the liver by any means. You really would be endangering yourself to not go off

both of those before surgery.

[Thanks Anne. The nerve pain only responds to narcotics and it will be a tough call to drop them. The wine i can drop,
