Hi I'm super new here. I was scheduled for surgery on September 1. I live in Sydney, Australia and halfway through my pre-op diet all elective surgery in the state has been postponed. My dietitian isn't responding to messages and my surgeon has simply said 'go back to eating normally' but it feels like a waste of the work I've done this past week. Does anyone have any suggestions about diet for a break (they are suggesting a minimum of a month) that will help set me up for my op, and my life post op, without being own the pre-op fasting diet??

@Hop_Scotch that's the kind of thing I was thinking, make sure I stay in deficit and keep losing weight without being on the liver shrinking diet. Currently 117kg, aiming for 75kg @FutureSylph and @catwoman7amazing, thank you for the info on the less restrictive/post op guidelines. I'm feeling like I'm floundering. I'd done so much set up for my pre-op and ready for liquids post-op and expecting to have a dietitian and guidance coming out of the surgery that having a "follow the bouncing ball" type diet for a week or two is definitely the way to go right now. @Maribelle76 I'm trying really hard not to flip out and eat all the things! The problem is that after a week on the pre-op diet when I told my body I was about to eat all the thing again my body said no. I'm not a teary person, but I keep bursting into tears and just want to have a tantrum. But I figure post-op I'm going to have to have some serious willpower, so I may as well start exercising that as well as my body pre-op Honestly I just want to get a different dietitian that has a bit of empathy and is responsive to a stressful situation. But I can't do much about the Covid outbreak and the surgery postponement. So I'll keep a handle on the things I can control and try to let the stuff I can't control roll by.

My surgery has officially been postponed due to Covid. From Spetember 1 to who knows when. But I'm top of the list when surgery kicks off again, so fingers crossed it's not too long
