I havent at in almot 2 wks and my sirgery is tuesday and my fam is eating pizza and i really eant a slice since i can never have it again anyway just not sure if i should

Who said you can never have pizza again? You might not can have much of it. Do you eat pizza for the crust or more for the meat and cheese? If for the meat and cheese, here's an alternative. Take a tortilla and top it with pizza sauce and then whatever toppings you like bake in the toaster oven. Or it can be a pizza quesadilla if you cook it in a pan and fold it over.

It will not hurt if you have pizza! I'm 4 days post-op and I ate what I wanted to on the pre-op diet and I was fine. I know that I shouldn't have but the truth is that I did.

Ok so I know its hard and I just thought I would post why most have a liquid diet prior to surgery. It is to shrink our liver and reduce the fat around it. During surgery the doc has to use a tool to retract our liver. And with it smaller and less fat makes it more pliable to move because it can tear. It makes the surgery safer and faster!! So whenever the urge hits you to cheat just remember this comment for encouragment to get past it.

I am feeling awesome! The pain to me is like I did too many situps. Just sore muscles. I have walked a lot and I ate Breakfast and lunch good. (stage 2 foods- cream of wheat and lunch was cream of chicken with no chunks) I Drink nonstop and always have ice chips. I can not believe how dry my mouth is!! I am home tonight. Dr. Came in this morning and said he couldn't have asked for a better surgery.. So he said I could go home whenever I felt like it. I waited a few hours to make sure I was really ready! I feel good at home too. Just taking it slow so I don't over do it.
