Hi all! I need a general consensus on adherence to the pre-op diet. I’m on day three of just liquids, my surgery date is May 6th. The liquids bite, but it is what it is. My bff and I would really like to go out for one last sushi night on Friday and I’m wondering how much damage I’ll do if I stick to just fish and veggies? Is it worth it? Please send help!

Yay for surgery twins!! Thanks for the input from your surgeon’s office! Mine said I could have 4oz lean meat and veggies at one meal but I’m super paranoid it’ll put a huge dent in the weight loss if I do ? Good luck with the surgery!! I know we’ll both do great with it!!

You should be fine just make sure your getting you fluids in that what really helps with shrinking the liver. I know we will Good Luck and congrats we only have 10 days left

I am a noobie...but I just wanted to say that I had a mini sugar free no crust cheesecake the first day of my pre-op diet.

I also added soy sauce and teriyaki to my one meal a day of broiled shrimp and steamed broccoli - the first two days of my pre-op diet.

I lost 10lbs pre-surgery and adhered hardcore to my pre-op diet after those first two days.

We are all adults. We all make decisions. Some of those decisions have consequences. That is what life is. This won't be the first time nor the last when you are going to be faced with a choice of going out and what to eat or not to eat.

My liver looked awesome. My surgery went well and super quick.

I have adhered to my post op died 100%. I walk 4 miles a day and log everything in my fitness pal ( I plan on being back in the gym next week). I just started on purees - I am preparing everything from scratch. I am a little over 2 weeks out.

I don't think having steamed, or broiled fish and steamed low carb vegetables mean you aren't taking things seriously at all. You seem educated and aware.

Email your doc or pa - they will probably give you a thumbs up.

The goal of a pre-op diet can be different. For some, it can be weight loss, as the Dr may be checking to see how serious someone is prior to surgery. For some, it really is to shrink the fat out of the liver to make it smaller, so their surgeon can move it easily and see better.

As a patient, we want to make sure we are able to enjoy our favorite 'bad' foods, since we will forever be on better path for ourselves. Each of us will need to wrestle with what feels right to us.

I struggled with the strict protein shakes before surgery. The only thing that kept me on track was asking myself if it was worth it a fter all I've had to go through to get this surgery? Eventually you'll be able to eat normal food again so not risking it would probably be a better choice. That's just my opinion. Good luck no matter what you choose!
