Hello First time poster. I was told by my surgeon (based in NSW) to do 6 weeks or more liquid diet. I'm 189kg 177cm male. I started 7 weeks pre-op, I did 4 weeks straight no problems, then I completely stuffed up and have basically been eating like I was before for two weeks (which is unhealthy and way too much) and I now have 5 days till surgery. I've made a promise to myself that I'm going to be 100% strict from this minute onwards until surgery day, which is in 5 days. I'm terrified I will not be able to get the surgery done. What should I do? Have I blown it? I'm too ashamed to tell my surgeon I only had to do it for 7 weeks and I failed.

So glad it went well! What did your surgeon say? He said my liver was a little fatty but nothing bad. On the day of OP I was 15KGs down from pre-liquid phase. Currently 19KGs down from SW. It's going well!

Surgery went well

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been 110% perfect for 3 days now and, will continue that way until surgery. I want to do this!

You guys have made me feel much better, thank you! I am going to be 110% strict for the last 5 days, and hope that the 4 weeks prior, and last 5 days pre-op will be enough to have my liver healthy. I did do a blood test about two weeks ago, and the results were my liver was fatty but he said only a bit higher than average range, so based on that I'm hoping I have it in good enough shape for surgery.
