As I posted in another thread "those Isopure zero carb drinks go down a lot easier with a shot of vodka in them". ;)

Anyway, you're fine. Just don't do it every day.

You'll be okay. Just remember the reason for the pre-op diet. Mainly to shrink your liver as it makes it easier for the surgeon to get to your stomach. The other, it gets you prepared for the other food phases. But one mistake won't hurt you. So don't let it get you down. Good luck & hang in there.

I'm only a couple days in and it's definitely a struggle! I'm exhausted physically and mentally, I cried while watching a Food Network show lol. Just one more week. We can do it

I'm so afraid that even after this pre op diet they won't be able to get to my stomach. I had a fatty liver to begin with.

Don't be. What you're trying to reduce with the preop diet is your stored liver glycogen (a form of stored sugar).
