K so I ate my sushi today....

Wow. So after weeks of crrraaaaviiing sushi... 3 days before surgery...I had some. And it was good. And I felt satisfied. Satisfied...with a side of guilt. Monday (day before surgery) I have to eat according to the list of things I was given at hospital which will eventually end in clear liquid dinner. Any tips?

My suggestion would be to follow the plan. You don't want to risk your liver not being prepared properly for surgery. The primary reason they have you follow the liquid diet is to ensure your liver shrinks and they can execute a laparoscopic procedure. If they cannot maneuver around the liver, they may have to do an open procedure which can result in more complications and longer recovery.

As hard as the Liquid Protein diet is, it is better for you in the end. You are so close, don't self sabotage yourself.

Good luck and keep us posted!

They didn't tell me to go on a two week liquid diet. When I went and had my labs done they said everything was normal so I'm thankful that! I'm just hoping I'm for the best next week

I didn't have to do a two week liquid diet. Just fasting day before and of surgery. I definitely had my last go with sushi rolls.

One month out of surgery and sushimi is a big part of my diet. Very good to eat! No rice though
