Pre Op Diet

[bethany1987 66]

I've screwed up on the diet A LOT!! I'm 4 days out from surgery now....do I have enough time to shrink my liver if I follow it to the T now, or do I need to push back my surgery? I don't want to change my surgery date at all, but if doing the surgery with only 4 days pre op diet is going to mess up my surgery then I'd rather move it back. Anyone know what I should do?

If you do the next 3 days of clears I dont see why u would have a problem. But u have to stick to it.

You should be straight with your surgeon about this and et him advise you. It would be in your best interesa and dor your safety to be forthcoming with the doc so that he can tell you truthfully if you need to push back the surgery...

I am pretty sure they wont push back the surgery if she did the 3 days of clears right before. You havent read the treads on women eating the day before and then trying to throw up and use mag citrate. LoL thats nuts. But their docs still did the surgery. From my collective gathering the whole diet perspective is to get up into ketosis. It helps out post op big time. But post op the last thing your worrying about is food except for popcicles . I was sick the week of my surgery. I got a shot on monday told both of my docs and both said you will be on enough antibiotics to kill nearly anything left that you will have by then.

Hmm so yes tell the doc but will it matter 98% will be negative
