Hello

First time poster.

I was told by my surgeon (based in NSW) to do 6 weeks or more liquid diet. I'm 189kg 177cm male.

I started 7 weeks pre-op, I did 4 weeks straight no problems, then I completely stuffed up and have basically been eating like I was before for two weeks (which is unhealthy and way too much) and I now have 5 days till surgery. I've made a promise to myself that I'm going to be 100% strict from this minute onwards until surgery day, which is in 5 days.

I'm terrified I will not be able to get the surgery done. What should I do? Have I blown it? I'm too ashamed to tell my surgeon I only had to do it for 7 weeks and I failed.

Yay!

Surgery went well

So glad it went well! What did your surgeon say?

Good news.

My surgeon didn't require a pre-op diet, but my bariatric Doctor did, so I kind of "split" the difference. Fluids all day and 1 small healthy meal for dinner, until the last 4 days. Then liquids only.

He said my liver was a little fatty but nothing bad.

On the day of OP I was 15KGs down from pre-liquid phase.

Currently 19KGs down from SW. It's going well!
