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!

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!

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
