My doctor was not specific about the preop diet, he just told me to lose weight before the surgery. I was down 7 pounds and feeling great about it, but then the weekend came. Saturday we had a family BBQ during the day, and then my husband brought home ice cream sandwiches at night. I got back on the wagon in the morning and did pretty well, but then got so hungry by dinner that I ate a chicken nuggets meal from McDonalds! I'm dreading the scale in the morning! Now I've only got Monday and Tuesday to undo the damage, surgery is set for Wednesday. I can't wait to finally be free from incessant hunger.

I totally understand.

I am also ona pre-op diet

I have to have 3 slimfast shakes only!!

I added myself the jello and ice pops

Good luck let me know how it goes my date is 10/05

Cut back hard these last few days (protein shakes only?) as it will lighten your liver. Don't worry, I didn't have a specific pre-op either and my doc said he's never not been able to do a surgery because of someone's liver size (and he take on the super morbid cases that the other hospitals won't in our city). Best wishes on your surgery! -BG
