I am on week 5 of my pre-op diet. I was only supposed to be on it for 3 weeks but my surgery got delayed for 2 extra weeks. I have cheated some this week and my surgery is March 12th. I am so scared about making my liver fat again. I've lost 25 lbs total since staring this process. Am I going to be okay if I stick to the diet from now until Tuesday?? What does everyone think?? I'm really worried!

I have a Pre Op Diet question...my doc said 3 days liquid...and today day one ive already cheated. Had one mexican street taco...im heavy but most of my weigjt is in my legs hips and thighs....my torso is the smallest part of my body. Am I goig to have issues because on my pre op diet cheating? But I havent eatin much...

Some people only do 12-24hrs???

In worried?

Hi????

I am struggling with my pre op diet as well. I've talked to many who didn't do a pre op diet. They did the liquid 24 hours before and had no issues. I'm not saying to do other than the doctor has told you just sharing what I know and that I share your struggle.

I think I am pretty lucky - my Doc does not require a pre-op diet, just NPO after midnight the night before as with any surgery. For you that have Docs that require a limited diet pre-op, hang in there! Good luck!
