What Happens If....?

I can't just eat the broth......what happens if I'm not on liquids for the three days? Surgery in the morning....lord help me.

Are you asking what will happen if you do not follow the rules? (just clarifying) If that is the case... don't worry. you will not want to eat anyway. It is VERY unsafe to break the rules in the early stages. The rules are there for your safety. Follow them to the letter. PLEASE.

If you are asking something different, please say so.

Yes, I have not stayed on just liquids for the past 3 days and I'm schedule for my surgery today.

Hey nursedel, I am not sure how things will turn out for your surgery because all drs are different. My dr had me on a liquid diet for a week before to shrink my liver. Some go through a whole month of a pre-op diet but I have heard of others who do not have any type of pre-op diet other than to fast the day before. I would go in today to your surgeon and be completely honest with him and tell him that you strayed away from your diet and that way he can be completely informed.

Thinking of you today and hoping that things go well today.

Thank you Susie! I intend to do just that. I would hate for something to go wrong. My poor husband would be devastated.
