Didn't do pre op diet properly and having surgery in 4 days

[bubblegirl96 5]

I'm so worried that i did this stupid thing I'm having my sleeve gastrectomy surgery in 4 days . my doctor gave me 2 weeks pre op diet to shrink in my liver but i didn't followed it correctly i was thinking about that these are my last days to enjoy food i regret it now . actually I traveled to another country to have the operation i had my blood tests and everything I'm worried because what if i have fat liver and mu surgery will be cancelled ?

I will feel like a complete loser because all i ever wanted was to do the operation and I didn't took the diet seriously my doc also gave me a ultra sound to do will they find out in ultrasound if i have fatty liver ?

I mean does ever fat people have fatty liver ?

My BMI is 42 i never smoked or drank alcohol .

I know friends who did sleeve gastrectomy but they didn't go through pre op diet and they are doing perfectly fine now

Please i need help I can't move the surgery to another date

You need to talk to your surgeon about this. It's never wise to withhold information from the person who will be cutting into major organs in a few days. Please call and talk to them about your worries.

I agree you need to talk to your surgeon. It also depends on how far away your deviated from the diet. If we are talking a couple of meals, you are probably fine. If you are talking the whole time, then you are probably not.

I also think you should ask yourself if you are really ready for this.

Not every surgeon has the same preop diet plan. Some people have strict liquid diets, my surgeon only required a 1400 cal or less daily for three weeks. I was able to eat reasonable meals during my preop time. However I did not have a fatty liver to start with.

I respectfully disagree. I know that "food funerals" are never a good idea and show a lack of discipline in some respects, but I've seen lots of people who have had them and still become really successful with the surgery. I've also seen people who were perfect with the pre op diet and struggle with the surgery. Goes both ways.

I totally see what you are saying. And I'll go back to what I said before, a few deviations are probably fine. This is a big deal and scary and sometimes those fears drive us back to bad behaviors. This shit is hard. My comment about asking if she's ready for it is more if she didn't stick to the diet at all.

Thank you all for your reply I'm going to tell my surgeon everything true ,

I didn't completely cheated because as i said I travelled a different country for the surgery before travelling i was following my diet and after that I couldn't cook myself i ordered from outside .

And my doctor allowed me to eat grill or steamed fish chicken and beef .

And as babbs said i know few friends who didn't do any pre op diet but are successful with the operation

And hellya I'm totally ready for this , this is exactly what i want i know i did the wrong thing .

But i have 4 more days left and i will try my best to make use of it get more strict with my diet and walk a lot

Just make sure you follow the rules after surgery. It's a big deal to your health then when your stomach is healing.
