Doctors orders

I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/28 , I just got my date last Thurday. At my preop MD appt I asked my doctor about sticking to the preop diet (which he only requires for a week) and he told me to do my best and enjoy my Christmas meal with my family. Well now I feel guilty, like I went overboard. I have been on Protein Shakes since last Friday and today I had 2 regular meals. I dont know I just feel like I ruined my preop diet.........

He told you to enjoy, just move forward and get back on the diet tomorrow..

The pre op diet is to shrink your liver, 1 day will not hurt you. Your doctor is right. jump back on the pre op diet and you will be fine!! Good luck on surgery

Thanks Kristikay, I guess I'm just nervous, ya know presurgery jitters. But I know this is gonna be the best thing I have ever done for myself.

I am sure it will be, I am right behind you. My surgery is Jan. 22 and I have been over doing it over the holidays. I start my liquid preop diet on Jan. 8th but getting back on the nut. diet plan I was on for 6 months and hopefully lose some of what I have gained. When I first started thinking about this surgery I never thought there would be so much dieting before the surgery.
