3 days out and I broke



Recommended Posts

My surgery is meant to be on the 2nd of December, and I just broke my diet. I had wine and couldn't resist the Thai I got for the children. At the time I was just like, "to hell with it, it's the last time I will get to eat coconut rice", but now I am scared that I have jeopardised my surgery. I just want the rest of my life to start right now because sticking to this is soooooo hard. Do I have to tell my surgeon. Do you think it will be an issue if I stick to it for the next two days?

Please don't judge me harshly.

Thanks in advance.

It won't be the last time. You can mostly eat that stuff again once your stomach has healed.

If it will make a difference I don't know. Gut feeling says "no" because I didn't even have a pre-op diet but then again I didn't have a large liver and I don't know how much of a difference to liver size the pre-op diet really makes. How long was your pre-op diet?

As long as you get back on track you should be fine. Don't get back off track again. You can do this...this is to better your health. That coconut rice is not worth it.

Thank you both so much - that helps a lot. I am not in the morbidly obese zone, just obese, so not sure how big my liver is. I still shouldn't have done it. My surgery is about midday on Saturday, so if I get through Thursday and Friday, hopefully it will be fine.

I was meant to stick to just three Protein Shakes a day - it's way too strict. I mean, if I didn't have food issues, I wouldn't be doing this. I feel like fat me is trying to sabotage skinny me and my healthy future. I just want to be strong now. I am so excited about my future and all of the before and after pictures are so inspiring.

I was thinking of taking laxatives - do you think that would help?

Gas in the shoulder? Woah, not ready for that! How does swallowing feel? You broke five days out, that's not as close as I am, but hopefully my stomach will be empty by surgery.

Girl, you're going to be looking good in no time - are you happy?

Obvcourse you tell your surgeon. I've had people say they were opened up and closed right back as the liver had not shrunk. Yes you have jepodised your surgery you need to look into your self if you have noticed this before. Contact your surgeon incase he wants you to follow a different plan for the last few days to keep you on track. Like people said above you can eat those foods after so don't let food control you when you are this close.

Your size of your liver isn't about whether your obese or super obese. Even a normal size liver needs to be shrunken so they can move it. So I think your confused about that one.

Taking laxatives after eating what you should not have is called bulimia.
How would pooing help ? Your body has already digested it. That's not going to do anything to shrink your liver. I'm very worried about were your mind is at right now.

      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.
