I feel so bad...I cheated today...all these parties for the kids...and I had a salad... hoping it doesn't screw things up I have lost about 16 lbs on preop...but now freaking out. My surgery is monday .

The preop diet is about shrinking the liver, one salad won't undo that. That said, get back with the program, you can do this!

You're worried about a salad? I thought you were going to say you ate an entire chocolate cake or something.

Anyway, there's nothing to worry about. Before my op I just had to do liquids only for one day and my surgery went perfectly. I can't imagine a salad would be that detrimental.

I just ate a can of fat free refried beans, my surgery is Tue....I am not too worried.

i know it sounds silly...it was a grilled chickenceasar salad with the works...i felt guilty...it was followed by a few fries...just paranoid
