I have a quick question..I think anyway. I am on the 2 week pre-op diet consisting of liquids and some proteins. I went away camping this weekend and found myself cheating due to circumstances and lack of "healthy" food that I was allowed to eat. :car: Does anyone know if this will need to postpone my surgery?

Most likely no , i cheated on my 2 week pre op diet , i was high protien low carbs, just get back on track.

My doc said my liver looked fabulous! , it shrank just fine.

You should be fine. Based on the posts from other threads, not all doctors require a strict pre-op diet. I am not on one either. So, if you cheated this weekend, I'm sure you're fine.

I don't think it will hurt. The majority of probably do cheat a little. Just get back on track.

I've heard other people say that you can have a last meal the night before surgery because it would by then be too late to undo the benefit to the liver of the pre-op diet. Has anyone done this and did it hurt?

Why do we have to shrink our liver before surgery?

It lies over the stomach and so is vulnerable to bleeding during surgery.
