Breaking my pre-op diet?

[nikkimarie_1991 7]

My surgery is on May 13th and I have been on my pre-op diet since Wednesday. My doctor has me on a full liquid diet . Tonight, I messed up and had some food. How/will this affect me, since I still have a week and a half until surgery?!

You should be fine, but stop cheating now. It will only make the process harder. You need to avoid fat and sugar in order to shrink your liver. It is important to shrink your liver before surgery. It has to be moved out of the way and it becomes very fragile when enlarged.

I agree with Stephanie. You must shrink your liver. At this point, you haven't ruined anything by one slip up. Just remember the big picture. The smaller your liver is, the easier the surgery will be.

Good to know, the next week should be a lot easier, I will be busy all week, distracting me from the evils of food lol
