I am on day 6 of a 10 day pre op liquid diet. Today I had to travel and forgot to carry my protein powder for lunch and dinner with me. I ended up having about 3-4oz of lean chicken breast with about a cup of copped veggies for dinner. I also had about a cup of wonton soup broth only. How much damage did I do in the grand scheme of shrinking my liver?

Thanks Kimbero. Hope all goes well on Tuesday.

I don’t think it will hurt you. For you to cheat, you picked a good food choice to cheat with. Not like you ate some cake with ice cream. Just stay on your diet the next four days

Thank you brassapple me too, im glad these 2 weeks are over. I've heard the 2 week liquid diet is the hardest, im glad im done with it. Good luck to you

I am 9 days post op and when I was doing my diet prior to surgery my program had me on protein shakes and 1 lean meal. You chose a lean meal so you will be fine. Good luck with your surgery.

Thanks Bryn910. I plan on being on track until my surgery on Friday. Just feel awful that I had solid food.

Many people are allowed to eat one daily meal of low carb veggies and lean protein on their pre-op diets.

You picked smart cheats. I don't think you did any damage to your liver-shrink.

I think it'll be ok. Best wishes on your surgery!

Quick question on the pre OP diet at what time eating your meal seemed to work for you guys? Lunch? Dinner? Etc

I am not yet on the sacred pre-diet but I currently,replace my lunch with a protein shake,because,most of the time I'm either busy or disinclined to cook them Before I would eat a bolonga on white bread, tuna salad on whole wheat or a Greek yogurt with fruit.
Now to your question, I think it will be okay. Many diets,let you have a lean,protein with or without a vegetable for a meal. Just get on back to the liquids like Doctor wanted. As long as it's a few days before it should clear out of your body and,it will be our little secret!???

Thanks guys. I was pretty worried. I wish you all success.

You’ll be amazing! Just be sure to walk ASAP to get rid of gas (worst part for me - lasted abt 2 or 3 days)
Post when you can afterward!

You'll be fine. I cheated a bit on my pre-op. Plus, not all pre-ops are the same. There are lots of generic pre-ops, and those tuned to the patient. Mine was super generic, like, the nurse didn't even bother to check anything other than my BMI before prescribing me my pre-op diet. Just do your absolute best to stick to the diet and make sure those slip ups happen as little as possible. Avoid fats and alcohols and you should be doing just fine.

Good Luck!
