Cheated On Clear Liquids By Accident...is That Safe? Help!



Recommended Posts

Surgery is tomorrow at 1pm....Im supposed to be on a clear liquid diet for 42 hours...I was out and hungry and the only thing that seemed appealing was egg drop Soup from the Chinese place. Well, I was distracted and I accidentally ate a few pieces of the egg....How much trouble you guys think I am in??? >.<

I didn't do liquids or mag citrate either. I ate fondue with steak and shrimp at 7 pm the night before surgery. My surgery wAs scheduled at 10 am. I was fine. He told me nothing to eat after 9 pm and nothing to drink after midnight.

It's surprising to hear all the variations! My surgeon said he wouldn't perform the surgery if I had eaten anything the day before/of. I would have to reschedule. I think this hospital tends to follow a really conservative/traditional approach to the surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
