What you should do is ask your surgeon if it will hurt you. sometimes it does not make a difference. Other surgeons postpone surgery because of it....

You need to ask so you can be less concerned about it

I'm just curious how you were able to un-pureed chicken without any pain or discomfort only 5 days out? Did you eat the greens as well? I'm 3 weeks out and if I don't puree enough and get too big a chunk it can be painful or very uncomfortable.

Ah, my mistake. I thought you were 5 days Post OP. My guess is you're fine, but do try to stick with your Dr.'s diet plan. I guess I was lucky as my Doc only required one day of liquids pre-op.

There seems to be a lot of different pre-op diet plans by different doctors. It is best to check with yours and not to assume that it was alright to cheat.....

Mine was 2 weeks of liquid Protein drinks and if I had cheated..He would have cancelled right away...

Other surgeons are not so strict...It is best to check..k

Confession: When I was on a my 14 day pre-op liquid diet, I did have actual food. If I was so very hungry I would eat one of those tuna packs or at night I have had a grilled chicken breast about 3 times in the 2 week period. I only lost a few pounds before my surgery which was 3 days ago. My "cheating" didn't seem to affect my surgery outcome. But, you really should do as I say and not as I do...follow your doctor. You don't want him cutting into your stomach and finding chicken in there. That may postpone things.

      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.
