Cheated On Clear Liquids By Accident...is That Safe? Help!

[2ndTimesTheCharm 68]

Surgery is tomorrow at 1pm....Im supposed to be on a clear liquid diet for 42 hours...I was out and hungry and the only thing that seemed appealing was egg drop Soup from the Chinese place. Well, I was distracted and I accidentally ate a few pieces of the egg....How much trouble you guys think I am in??? >.<

You should be fine. I didn't have to do a liquid diet so I could eat the day before surgery.

I didn't do liquids or mag citrate either. I ate fondue with steak and shrimp at 7 pm the night before surgery. My surgery wAs scheduled at 10 am. I was fine. He told me nothing to eat after 9 pm and nothing to drink after midnight.

Thanks guys! I feel so much better now...I was freaking out!! Lol. I didn't have to do the mag. cit. but I did some anyway just in case. Yuk!

It's surprising to hear all the variations! My surgeon said he wouldn't perform the surgery if I had eaten anything the day before/of. I would have to reschedule. I think this hospital tends to follow a really conservative/traditional approach to the surgery.
