vikki401 6 Posted March 20, 2022 OMG. My surgery day is tomorrow and I am suppose to be on a liquid diet. I’m studying while my toddler is here eating grapes and he fed me a few grapes and I …..like a dummie , mindlessly ate them!!!!! I wasn’t thinking. I was so into my book. I feel like I ate about 2 or 3 but I don’t even know for sure. You think my surgeon would notice ? It’s a Sunday so I can’t even call to ask . :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liveaboard15 1,293 Posted March 20, 2022 You should be ok its a tiny tiny amount. But i would just mention it. But by tomrrow those grapes should be in your colon and on their way out. 1 vikki401 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Greater Fool 2,054 Posted March 21, 2022 I had a complete meal for lunch the day before surgery. I was going to have a nice dinner but I just didn't feel like doing it. My Docs only rule about eating was not after 6:00pm the day before surgery. I was never on a liquid diet, but on a more rational low calorie diet. food you ate even 12 hours before surgery is no where near the surgical field. So a couple grapes is not the end of the world. Relax. Good luck, Tek 1 learn2cook reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShoppGirl 5,009 Posted March 21, 2022 I think it will be okay but I would tell the doctor because better to have to reschedule than for it to cause some issue during surgery. 1 SleeveToBypass2023 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. My surgeon said not to eat any food at all the day before the surgery because it can cause issues with the surgery and anesthesia. He said it's because anesthesia can reduce your body’s ability to protect and prevent food or acids from the stomach from entering the lungs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
