Help!!

[abrinson889 14]

I screwed up! My surgery is on Tuesday and I ate some fish and broccoli tonight! I feel so awful and don't know what to do! I am supposed to be on liquid only and have done good for the last 2

Weeks but some thing happened tonight and I couldn't help myself. Do you think it will affect my liver to the point I won't be able to get banded?

[Ckelly1974 2]

You'll be fine. Just go back to liquids tomorrow. I was banded (for the 2nd time 2 weeks ago) and we had a short time to get ready for surgery bc of insurance and the doc and nurse said all you really need is a couple of days.

Don't stress! Wish you the best of luck!

If it swathe night before they would reschedule you. As it is three days away you will probably be ok. But I recommend you tell your doctor first thing on Monday.

[spartanpower 8]

Btw I understand. The liquid diet was torture. So don't torture yourself any kore by feeling bad.

[spartanpower 8]

I hate predictive text.

You'll be absolutely fine. No problem at all.

it is ok i cheated to but i wasnton liquids just Protein and i ate off the protien

I'm in a similar boat. My diet is just lots of Protein and low cards (atkins style) and I've REALLY been struggling. I'm terrified but my surg isn't till Friday so I will just drink Protein Shakes till then and cross my fingers. #sososcared

I am in the same boat! My surgery is in 9 days and im on a low carb Protein diet as well and i went out with my family and ate chinese. I had a little plate and it was so good. But now im just sticking to what i have to and drinking a whole bunch of water! Whats weird though is i actually lost weight. I told my nutrisionist what happened (we are good friends) and she told me to just stick to my diet the rest of the way through and ill be fine! I was also told you really only need 3-4 days to shrink your liver :/

So so glad tohear that! I was begining to think I was the only one NOT doing liquid diets before surgery. With your diet, are you allowed to eat cheeses/meats? I'm just confused bc my doc said "atkins" and I know that Atkins includes everything besides carbs. However does it make sense that I'm allowed fatty foods!?

The best thing to do is just follow ur Dr's orders.Atkins has different phases.look up phase one and start there.you can choose lean Protein.in phase 1 it's mostly Protein and green leafy veggies.most fruit is not allowed.30 grams of carbs or less.you are allowed fatty protein cuz the premise of Atkins is" fat doesn't make you fat,sugar/insulin makes you fat."Atkins has a website that explains it.also you can just call ur dr and make him/her explain it in detail.Good luck !

I am not sure if i can have cheese or not. I am allowed 2 Protein shakes, 2 fruits, 2 veggies, 2 Proteins. But i also can have 2 cups of milk 1 cup of juice and up to 3 different dairys. So i am guessing i can have cheese. But i havent had any since i started. Its not that bad but i am starting to get worried because i cheated and ive been eliminating some things from my diet to make up for cheating. I am so scared my liver isnt going to be shrank. But i am so happy im not the only one!

[taylor94 9]

I wasn't on liquids b4 surgery on a lowfat high Protein and I wasn't allowed any dairy....sucked but I did it cheated on the 2nd last day and I was fine for surgery....

[Lapbandster 496]

But i am so happy im not the only one!

No, your certainly not the only one.

With me its SO weird! I honestly have no clue if i'm cheating or not because my doc was SO VAGUE! And now i think he's on vacation so I doubt i'll even be able to confirm with him

This morning I had part of a Protein Shake

Omlet with cheese (this was his recommendation)

and some watermelon

I honestly am so confused

[cassiem93 39]

I understand the confusion. My doctor is saying one thing and my nutritionist is saying another. But I had two reeses cup yesterday and a little piece of chocolate cake today. I'm tired of people saying well your not ready for the life style change. I've been on a diet for six months and now I feel like i'm stress eating. I am pretty sure nobody actually went through the whole pre-op with out cheating just once! I think you should be ok with the cheese. Sounds like my dinner tonight.
