Eating Everything I Can, While I Can:(

Yes I did this...fell hard into last meal syndrome before the preop diet. My nutritionist saved me because if my surgeon would have been notified of the big gain he would have cancelled the surgery! :-( I reigned it in for the pre-op diet because I was soooo scared my liver would be too big for them to operate.

Thankfully it's been smooth sailing post op, but I'm honestly upset with myself for doing it because all it did was leave more weight to lose post op. I have a LOT to lose...I just added to it. For me especially, I feel silly because I haven't had any bad reactions to any foods and have no taste for most of the crap I was worried about missing.

Anyway, it definitely seems normal....lots of people post about it. Just be careful that it doesn't postpone your surgery.

A fatty liver will cause some surgeons to decline your operation. More fat weight usually means a much larger' date=' fatter liver that can more easily be damaged and/ or make the surgical process more difficult working around it.[/quote']

My surgeon will still do the operation but you have to sign a waiver beforehand- fatty liver= full incision. Bye bye tiny scars.

Not worth the risk of being sliced straight down the middle in my opinion.

I took advantage of the chance to lose some preop weight and I did! I stopped sugar and carbs months preop and I glad I did. It eased me into the small quality of food we can eat postop instead of having to go cold turkey.
