Terrified that Surgery willl be cancled

[shellekarena 0]

So I have been on my pre op diet aka liver reduction diet since almost 2 weeks ago. I have only lost about 9 pounds but gained one back (mostly because an all Protein diet can block you up.). I am so scared that I will go through all of this and be told that my liver is too fatty and they can't do the surgery. Has anyone experienced this or heard of it happening. I have not cheated on my diet once and have only gone over 30 g of carbs a couple of times and that was by very little like 5-10. I am sorta freaking out.

I am on day 11 of my pre-op protein/Low carb diet. I'm down 5 1/2 lbs and have not cheated either. I've been allowed 40 carbs and I have been very diligent at keeping it there or below. Try not to worry, I'm sure your surgery will go off without a hitch! I'm so ready for Monday. I haven't heard of anyone's surgery being stopped due to the pre-op diet unless of course someone were to keep eating the carbs and fail at following the diet. Good luck!!

Stick to it. Also take a Fiber capsule or stool softener. Maybe that will make a difference. Good luck.

I'm on my 4th day of preop and have lost five pounds. My doctor didn't mention anything about watching my carbs, just Protein and calories.

What pre-op diets are your doctors recommending? Mine will have me doing the opti-fast for 12 days (I think strictly 4 shakes and 1 bar, or 5 shakes---plus sugar free clear liquids)...then the 2 day clear liquid diet.< /p>
