Pre-op diet...... Destroyed!

I feel like I have no self control! I can't do this pre-op by the paper to save my life! The real sad part is, it doesn't require ALL liquid :(. I'm able to eat 2 "smart" meals (smart ones, healthy choice ect) a day, 1 Greek yogurt, unlimited unsweetened liquids including popsicles, a piece of fruit and 2 protein shakes! Instead I've eaten what I've cooked for the last 2 days baked turkey wings w/gravy and pinto beans (it is protein) I also had 2 jerk chicken tacos!! My surgery is Friday! I only have today to get it right because Thursday is the ALL CLEAR liquids day! :(

    Get it together. The better you do pre-op, the better you'll do post op. As well if your liver has not shrank enough, your surgeon can't perform the surgery. He will close you right back up and send y

Thank you waitingtoexhale you are very kind, and here is an update.... can you say WOO HOO! the bariatric psychologist has released to continue with my program... FINALLY :) I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon on November 6 to pick a date! So excited and scared too have to be honest. There is a whole new life waiting for me... Yippie :)

wow congratulations!

interestingly enough, my surgeon has no preop diet. he says i can eat as i want to eat (of course my NUT highly recommends beginning to eat PRE OP as you will be POST OP) but the two days before surgery see through liquids ONLY--NO solids...and nothing to eat past 12am the night before surgery. in the AM i am to take my prilosec with just enough Water to swallow it down, and i'm off to the races!

i am weaning myself off of sugary foods and high carb foods on my own starting monday as it will be exactly 2 weeks before the big day. nothing wrong with helping my dr. along with a smaller liver :)

well a non fatty liver. LOL.
