Worried...!!?!

K so I have been doing really good on my pre op diet (-15 lb in 9 days) until today... I had a meeting and was starving and had a salad with ranch, I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't help myself plus I can only get myself to gulp down 1 Protein Shake per day? Has anyone cheated a little bit and still have a successful surgery? I go in 3 days and I don't plan on cheeting again but I can't help but feel guilty and worried? Help!

Different drs assign different diets so I don't think it will hurt. I was only liquid for 48 hours prior to surgery.

My dr didn't require a pre-op diet but had a strict post-op one

i had a really hard time with my pre-op diet. i followed the rules. but only lost 9 lbs of the 12 i was suppose to. my dr almost didn't do it. but he came in asked me what was going on and decided to still do the surgery and my liver was perfect! i don't think a little ranch will hurt you. it's actually a healthy fat unless you eat it by the gallon (gross) i think you will be great.

I think you will be fine, I was on 14 days of opti fast, day 1 had to have crackers because of nausia with the taste and smell. Figured out how to improve on that. I did have 1 other bad day due to my lack of planning, and had surgery yesterday. Too out of it to ask any questions, but surgeon did say everything went fine. Good luck to you.

Thank you guys sooo much! You made me feel a lot better! They told me I had to be very strict or I couldn't have my surgery! So hopefully everything goes well! Keep my fingers crossed!
