charisse 2 Posted October 6, 2013 I had my surgery On Friday. I was on morphine for pain for a day and a half. Now Im taking children's liquid Tylenol and managing my pain quite well. My surgeon said my liver ws fatty but he still had room to work, Thank God! I was on Opti fast for 14 days and was allowed greens, but admittedly I did cheat with chips, gummies, chilli and one day a chicken burger with fries (I was disobedient I know). I lost about 7 LBS. Anyway i had no complications and Im feeling great. You will be surprised how full u get on such a little bit of food Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't take this the wrong way, but why did you cheat on the pre- op diet? I really don't understand. If I had cheated and something went wrong, I'd endlessly beat myself up because I could have done it differently. I'm not holding myself up as perfect, but I followed my pre-op diet to the letter and the same post- op. Again, I'm really glad you are doing fine.

Mid West 99 Posted October 6, 2013 What was your pre-op diet? Mine was low fat, normal food, sticking to around 1000 cals a day. Didn't measure cals and may have had one or two more bowls of muesli than necessary but everything I've eaten has been low fat, zero sugar and no alcohol. I had one meal out on Friday night which didn't exactly meet the low fat requirements but still avoided chips (fries), alcohol and sugar. Thinking about doing a liquid diet (Complan/Soup etc) for the next 4 days leading up to the surgery, just to make up for any deviations on the pre-op and also to cleanse my system.

DevilBlueDress 189 Posted October 6, 2013 My pre-op diet was 3 Slimfast shakes (meals) and two Protein Shakes (snacks) plus broth, Water, a little juice (4-8 oz) a day. I could also have Decaf tea, sf Jello and sf popsicles. The last day before surgery I followed that diet through lunch, then had Clear liquids until 4 hours pre-op.
