So I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow and we went out for lunch and my favorite place didn't have my French onion soup that I usually get just the broth. They had a creamy rice and I tried hard to not get any chunks. With that said my family got pizza and not even thinking I took a big bite and then my husband said what are you doing as I swallowed...will I be ok tomorrow if I didn't do my full liquid diet today?!? Help!

You should be fine a bite of pizza is not gonna hurt you . We all make mistakes

The pre op diet is the surgeons choice.

I am 1 week post op today. My only restriction was nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before. So I think you will be fine.

Good Luck! And Best Wishes!

No worries.

the goal of the diet was to shrink your liver (according to my surgeon) but i am certain people cheat

you will be fine...

congrats on your sugery

Thanks everyone. I'm super nervous as the time ticks closer:(

Exciting. Anxious. Starting a new journey. Keep us posted. .

I'm on pre-op diet too. 14 days of total liquids. It's so tough but I see such variations in pre-op diets that I'm sure you are fine.

What time did you stop eating today? The liquid diet is a matter of preference that varies doctor to doctor. However when stop eating the day before surgery is important because that food may still be in your stomach/system being digested. That can sometimes cause problems. They will likely review with your last time you ate/drank anything. Be honest with them.

You will be fine...I cheated and had a lot more than that and my surgery was beyond textbook....did so well...please don't worry about it!

I'm six days way form my surgery and my church is having this big anniversary potluck... I also have to bring a potato salad and I'm so worried I'm going to pig out I feel like skipping it ????
