I know how that goes. Day 2 and 3 I was horribly moody, achy, and didn't feel like moving

I am on day 7 of my preop surgery. I have been so hungry all the time. I haven't lost any weight. Feel weak and can't sleep. I am following it exactly. About to break and eat mashed potatoes. Still 12 days away from surgery. I can't take it. Is it really that bad to eat something soft like mashed potatoes?

The goal of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver so cheating will delay that process. Pre-op diets vary, but most are intended to be an uber low carb diet. It takes a few days for your body to get into ketosis. If you cheat your body pretty much has to start over again. My doctor made no qualms about it - if he got in there and saw a fatty liver (which meant you didn't follow the diet) he would stop the surgery right then and there. The smaller the liver is the easier it is for the procedure which means it's safer for you. Is mashed potatoes worth it?

My surgeon doesn't do a preop diet !

Just the day before surgery I can't have food..... only liquids ......which is TODAY !! Yay!

Surgery is tomor!!!

I have been doing a version of preop diet anyway for like a week and whoa....

It really affects my mood ect

I feel I have the flu a little !! Headaches!

Hang in there with the preop diet - you'll be so happy you did!!
