Slip up on pre-op diet: advice please :(

[LemonZest 0]

I go for surgery in 13 days and I have been on a pre-op low fat diet for about a week. I have been really bad today by eating about half a bag of the large Walkers Sensations packs of crisps and an average serving of a pretty heavy lasagne. I have been sticking to the diet so well this week, I feel so awful how I could have slipped so badly today. Did anyone else slip during their pre-op diet? And how will this affect me seeing as I am scheduled for surgery in just under 2 weeks? :biggrin:

I had surgery on July 9th, and I slipped up a couple of times. The surgeon's goal is to have you lose some weight and shrink your liver before the surgery. As long as you've lost weight, you should be fine. Don't beat yourself up. Just continue on the path you're on!:biggrin:

Keep your eye on the ball. You can do it. Go for high Protein, low fat, fruit and vegies for the next 12 days and you will lose.

Ok first less ur doc have a specific weight loss goal for you preop... I'd call to check even if he/she didn't say.. I messed up ok my diet... Day 10 and 12 of a 14 day preop... And I was sooooo worried about my liver size, call ur doc if u have any questions! I know no one wants thier surgery pushed back but don't wanna be cut open and wake up with no lap band... In my opinion ( and I'm not a doctor, no one just a lady who got a lap band a week ago LOL ) I say get back on track. U had a slip up and I'm sure most people do... Heck there are people with no preop diets at all I think if u keep doing well then well see u back here in 12 days banded ( and complaining about gas and pain like the rest of us! :biggrin:. )
