Messing Up

Did anyone mess up during their pre op liquid diet?

I just had to not have any food 8 hrs prior and just Water up til 6 hrs prior. Seems like the pre op diet vary by doctor.

Big time. My preop was supposed to be for 2 weeks, I didn't get serious until the last 4 or 5 days. Some people don't even have a preop diet. It's designed to defat your liver, not necessarilly to lose weight - perhaps to also prepare you for the changes in your eating habits. But 1) how do they know how fat your liver was to begin with 2) once banded, you won't have a choice but to change your eating habits. To say it is your food police is an understatement. I'm almost afraid to eat sometimes, especially at night.

You'll be fine.

What do you mean by "Messing Up"? and What do you think will be different because of it?

What is the purpose of the Pre-op diet?

All Dr.'s have different approaches to this, and you will get as many responses here on this forum...I will not say what I think, but you do need to think it through....

By "messing up" I mean eating things that aren't allowed. I've been following it to the T but yesterday I had a craving for mashed cauliflower, which I make with butter & cream cheese. I made it.... And then didn't eat it!!!!! Then I was mad at myself for making it and not eating it. LoL. My sister had her sleeve done and her doctor DID NOT put her on a pre-op... I advised to to do it anyhow. Also, I know the diet it to shrink the liver to make the procedure less complicated but I did expect some weight loss during it... It has been VERY small. I think that's why I had the urge to break it. Anyway, surgery is this Saturday. ❤❤
