Preop diet cheating



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well. I have to say that I am very excited because I have my surgery date scheduled for February 8th which I know is right around the corner. But I have some concerns concerns because I have cheated a little on my preop diet. I was supposed to have started it on the 25th the Liver Shrink but I have run into some trouble with eating food that I'm not supposed to. Not every day but I did for the first three days because our family plumbing was out and there was no way to really cook the food I needed. I am back on track but I am just worried that it will be an issue with my doctor. Just wondering if you guys had any advice. I'm wondering if I should notify my nutritionist about it and let my surgeon know. I just don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.

It shouldn't be an issue. Just stick to the pre-op diet now and you should be fine. Three days is not enough to have to notify your nutritionist IMHO.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
