Set a date for my surgery : March 3rd (yay!!!!) meaning my pre op diet starts on the 17th! How much trouble do you think I would get into with my doctor if I wanted to have some "food funerals" this week before I start my diet? I feel guilty :/

Good luck. Let us know how it goes. Cute doggy too

thank you!! I sure will :-)

enjoy yourself, maybe within reason....things are about to get a whole lot of different!!!

I had them and I'm glad I did. You're gonna read from ppl who had them and those who will say "don't do it Bc you will be able to eat your favorite foods in small quantities again". I plan to NOT eat those foods again. Ever. So I had mine, am on my pre-op diet and doing great.

Same I'm happy I had them. I didn't eat more than before I decided to go on this journey, but just ate crap foods at meal times. I actually didn't gain any weight in the month between setting my date and my pre op appointment. Bt yeah. The foods I ate got me to where I am, so I don't plan on eating them after, even in small portions.

I had last meals before the pre-op diet. Not a ton cuz I didn't want to feel like crap but a few to get it out of my system. I probably won't eat them ever again. It seems like part of the process. I think some people advise not to have a last meal during the pre-op diet. That way surgery is as safe as it can be with a shrunken liver.

Yeah. Once the pre-op diet starts you should not have any food funerals

Hello All,

Is it normal to be nervous about the 2 week liquid pre-op diet? My surgery is scheduled for March 3, 2014. My doctor advised I can only have 800 calories a day while i'm on the diet. I am so nervous!! Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

I was more excited than nervous Bc I knew this was leading up to the new me. Also, if I'm not compliant with a 2 week diet, how can I be compliant with an entire lifestyle change? You can do this. Sure, it sucks. It's no fun. But it is doable.

My surgery date is March 5th so I start my pre-op diet on the 19th. My anniversary is today and my birthday is the 18th so I will be having at least 2 "food funerals" just from special occasion eating. I'm going to do my best to limit it to those 2 days because I don't want to make things more difficult for myself after surgery; however, I'm definitely doing to eat what I want at very nice restaurants on both of those days.

Awesome!!! Thanks for the reassurance everyone. I don't feel as guilty now, and I'm excited for the new change !!
