It won't ruin your diet and all your progress, but you have to be extra vigilant these next few days because even one little treat might tempt you to try more things right before surgery!

Great question for your doctor. He'd probably say yes, but it doesn't hurt to run it by him first. He may know something we here don't.

I agree with castel. If you are going to cheat on your pre op diet, cheat with something that is not going to compromise your chances of having a successful surgery. I know how difficult the pre op diet can be, and I'd hate to admit it, but I did cheat. With grilled chicken from KFC. And grilled salmon at Captain D's. The taste of meat in my mouth after being depraved of it was unreal. BUT I AM NOT TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOU! Remember at the end of the day to do what is best for you.

I don't know when you put it in terms like "slow baked soft chicken thigh" it sounds pretty tempting :) lol

Ask your doc!

I know that does sound tempting, why don't you get like a can of Soup maybe lentils and puree it and see it that helps with your craving. Progressive has a good black lentil Soup and it's high in Protein. That what I did and helped me make it!

Look at it this way, at least by following the regular pre opt diet, your liver will have even more of a chance to shrink and you will be in better shape for the procedure. Please don't make that baked chicken.....It will be calling your name and then after you will be wanting more solid foods and your mind will be playing games on you...... :)

That's exactly the conclusion I came to after asking myself "Do I really wanna open that door " lls I honestly think that will make me want to "just have..." a # of things I haven't had so I am gonna leave the chicken alone and get some fine Soup :-)

I would do Soup. As it is still liquid and easier to get out of your digestive tract than a piece of chicken. I cheated on my pre-op diet i had mozzerella sticks. I understand your pain......I felt like i was so hungry.

see ... all drs are different. my 2 weeks post op diet isn't completely all liquid. its low fat... low carb.. and it does allow small meat. they said to make a meal out of a healthy choice dinner and whatnot. I'm only liquid I think a day or 2 b4. I would say it wouldn't kill ya. I'm allowed to I know that. good luck to us all

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
