How bad is it that I cheated on liquid pre op diet?



Recommended Posts

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?

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

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!

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!👉😁👈

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
