Respectfully, NO! You're not "fine"

You need to call your surgeon's office ASAP. That is a LOT of salt you ate, and the purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink the liver. The surgeon needs to know you did this, and they may have to reschedule your surgery if you aren't able to fix it in time.

Frankly, it sounds like you panicked. Please think carefully about what you've done, and more importantly, why.

Girl! don't fret... I'm not encouraging that you cheat but I was not as diligent as I should have been during my two week liquid pre op...

Yes, they do want to shrink your liver but I ate a little bit here and there during the pre-op, and had a successful banding, not to mention I lost 8 pound prior to the surgery. I must admit I was very dilligent 4-5 days prior... I think that it's more difficult for some... let's face it, if we werent food addicts, we wouldn't be having the band!!!

So, don't beat yourself up... Just get back on track with the liquids!!!

Please remember that unless someone is a Dr the answers will all be opinions. If you are ever worried about what you have done, feel, see, eat or think is happening give your Dr a call. It is his say so that counts.

That being said I think it is great that you didn't scarf down a pint of Haagen Daz. Relax and read your guidelines again. Recommit yourself.

Good luck on your journey!!

RESPECTFULLY............

Do you know how much salt is in broth?????????? Which is what we are SUPPOSED to consume on a liquid diet.

It is a short term diet, she is not going to die nor should she call her Dr. ASAP. I know everyone is different, but really I don't think scaring people is nice. I was very concerned with the ammount of salt in my diet for a 6 week liquid diet..... my Dr. does more bariatric surgeries than anyone in my state, the facility is a Center of Excellence & he did not have any alarms going off about it.

Let's all play nice.

Um, ok.

You're fine! {big fake smile}, and you have nothing to worry about! {big fake smile}

Now that is "not nice." I was being nice by not lying to her. Sorry.

Are you crazy writing that response? I mean seriously. You would think she commited a crime the way our are acting! Her liver will be fine. It's just salt. Do you know nothing about being fat? Salt doesn't make you put on weight. Fat, Sugar, Carbs, and over eating does. If salt were the problem we would all stop eating it and be skinnky and none of us would have to get the surgery. So back off!

I am not saying lie to her. But you were a bit....... your'e in front of a train that is going to hit you, run!

Yes she might want to call her Dr. but since we aren't the Dr. don't freak out so much. She might feel like she totally blew it & really sabotage herself. Her Dr. might very well say, that was too many carbs, buckle down from here on out.

A simple "You might want to call the Dr. & ask about it b/c of the carbs or salt......" would have been sufficient.

Choopie, keep in mind EVERY person on this journey gets a different pre-op diet. Some are on liquid two weeks before or more, or some like myself only 48 hours before so chances are you didn't hurt your surgery chances but you should always consult with your doctors office if you are worried about something, they know your health history and can advise you properly.

We didn't get to this point over night, we have been bingeing and cheating a long time to be where we need WLS to get healthy so don't let yourself or anyone else beat you up over 1 missed-step! Just take a deep breath and start over again. I am sure it won't be the last time you fall back on old habits. If someone on here says they never do I would say they are in denial....LOL;)

Let's keep this in perpective ladies... It was Soup, not big bacon claccic with double cheese and bacon! As I mentioned previously, if we could have that much self control ALL the time we wouldn't need the surgery!

Wow, some people really think they know everything!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
