So, I'm on day 3 of the pre op full liquid diet. I'm due to start my TOM any day now, is there any reason that the sudden restriction of calories would shock my body into skipping a period? I had a slip up when I moved and fell off the wagon with my BC pills, now I'm waiting for the cycle to start over (aaaaany day now) so I can go back on them. I've missed periods in the past, but they've been pretty regular lately. I had my pre surgery labs done yesterday, so I haven't heard back from the pregnancy test yet. But I am just paranoid that after waiting a whole year to do this, I'd have to put it off again. So... if there's anyone who has any insight or suggestions, it'd be greatly appreciated!!!

Yes doing the pre-op diet can make you skip your period or get them sooner and heavier.So can stress so I would go to the dollar store and pick up a cheap test so it is one less thing you have to worry about( the lab maybe slow to contact you)

 Girl I was in the exact same boat as you and sure enough, I got it on Thursday! Try not to stress and I would totally go to the dollar store and buy a cheap test

 Thanks! I know where I'm going today!

 Did you have a chest x ray and the barium test done at the pre op visit? If so i'm sure they already had the pregnancy results. I had to do that first. I dont think you can do all that if you are pregnant.
