Hey guy I had a slip up today and ate some chicken. No sauce plain grilled chicken but I ate abou t 6 oz. I'm 7 days into liquid diet and I feel pretty sick. Should I take a laxative? If so what kind? Thank you!

Don't freak out! On my pre op i had one meal of lean meat and very low carb veg. U'll be fine. So don't worry and just get back on the wagon

I take it you havent been sleeved yet? Or have you?

On the two week liquid diet i slipped up about 3 times and i wont lie i needed to. I still lost 13 lbs. Not saying that you should but a little bit of chicken is not going to ruin everything...that being said if you are post op and only a few days out you will not enjoy the feeling.

Why would you need to take a laxative? With mostly a liquid diet you will pass any solid food you eat pretty quickly. Besides a quick weight loss they want you to do the liquid diet to clean out your bowels as a lot of people get constipated after the surgery.

You slipped up not the end of the world..just move on from there! We all make mistakes

More the question is do you need to take a laxative? I would guess this will pass just like before. Laxatives take awhile to work, so you probably wouldn't see results right away. Also, eating chicken is not much of a slip. Many doctors say we can eat one real meal a day of lean meat.

I'm going with you being pre-op as you are posting in pre-op questions.

If so eating chicken should not derail you but try to follow your plan.

If you were 7 days post-op you probably could not eat 6 oz of grilled chicken at one sitting.

Yes I'm on PRE op liquid diet thanks for clarifying!

I confess too... I had a food funeral moment last night too :/ the weekend has been very difficult for me. We are so busy with family, kids/sports that staying on the pre-op diet has been really hard for me. Not to mention we had a birthday party to attend as well as another family function. I'm back on track today though!

Aww bnape we are all human and omg yes weekends have been the worst! What's ur surgery date?

Do not worry! You start clean tomorrow, and no talk of laxatives! That sounds like eating disorder talk. The pre op diet is so you can get use to the first two weeks post op and loose some fat from around your liver. It's makes it easier for your surgeon to work.

Thanks for the support

My day of sleeving is 10/2. I have done well today and got back on track.

I am right with you on the liquid diet. Day 3 and I am sooo hungry! My surgery is the Oct. 1st
