cheating on pre-opt diet



Recommended Posts

I was thinking of cheating and having a piece of Tilapia grilled tonight. I just want to eat something that looks like food. Will this increase my liver size?

I don't think the pre-op diet actually shrinks the liver - I think it just makes it less fatty and easier to handle by the surgeon.

I've done a liquid diet before it's hard and I really sympathize - but hang in there - You are worth it x

Hi there. I have to do a 3 week pre-op milk based diet starting from mid November.

When I met with my surgeon, I asked him if it would ruin things if I cracked under the strain ( LOL ! ) and had the occasional bit of fish or chicken with it. He said he had no problems with me having some lean protien now and again. THANK GOODNESS !!! I think he sees it as being better than sabotaging it altogether and stuffing in any old rubbish.

Hope this helps

Best wishes Angela.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
