Pre-Op diet, did I screw up, or is it ok?

[LivingLight 65]

I am day 3 of the pre-op diet, and working VERY hard to stay very strictly on track.

My pre-op diet for the 2 weeks prior to surgery allows me (this is cut and pasted):

Unlimited leafy green vegetables (spinach, lettuce, kale), every day. Add some flavor with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice or any zero calories dressings. Green leafy vegetables may be enjoyed cooked or raw in Soups or salads. You may have as many as you´d like throughout the day, aim for at least 3 cups to control hunger and improve liver functions. You may include tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Some examples of green leafy vegetables are spinach, romaine lettuce (or any other type), celery, kale, chard, cilantro (coriander), watercress, collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli, cabbage.

I went to make myself a salad tonight at work, and when I opened my lettuce I saw that it was bad. Ultimately I ended up eating half of an english cucumber, and a decent sized Tomato. Does the wording on my instructions look like I am ok to eat those unlimited as well? Or did I overdo it on those 2?

You should be ok since those are not starchy vegetables

You should be fine! Your livers not going to get fat on a cucumber and tomatoes call and ask your surgeon to clarify though if you need to.

I'm on day 11 of my 2 week diet and the first three days are the worst ! All the carbs leaving your body you feel faint and aggravated . But honestly after day five its okay my day three I cracked and had a 1/2of potato salad But was honest called my nutritionist and she informed me it happens but to try to get back on track . Every time I wana break down I just think of having a smooth recovery ! Because I want my liver as small as possible lol Your Good to go ! Good luck you got this !

I actually went through my pre-op paperwork and it says I can have as much of those things (and a few others) as I want. WHEW.
