I cheated...

My surgeon has me on a 2 week liquid diet and this afternoon against my better judgement i had a taco salad and then for dinner i had chili!! My surgery is on Thursday the seventh so I have been doing really well up to this point, I just dont know what got into me today. Am I screwed now? If i do an all clear liquid broth for the next 3 days can i reverse what i've done? Please help!!

It's okay. Just don't do it again. Start from now on. I mess up sometimes too. ,just realize you made a mistake and don't do it again. It. Will be alright.

I'm just worried about my liver... I dont want it to be too big for the surgery.

I think you should be fine. Most of the 2 week liquid diets is to  shrink the liver. Just don't cheat again. Good luck !

your liver isn't going to grow extra fat from one day. Going forward stick to your doctor's preop plan.

I agree that you will probably be fine but I would also encourage you to be honest with your doc and let them now about today. Good luck going forward - you can do this!

I did the low carb, no carb two week plan before surgery, so I wasn't on liquids. It was for shrinking the liver too and my surgery was one of the easiest that my surgeon ever did!  So, I wouldn't sweat it...just get back to what you should be doing.  I think carbs, sugars, and alcohol are really the culprits for a fatty liver - but I don't claim to be an expert. 

Not all docs require a 2 week liquid diet... mine doesn't - so one cheat can't possibly make you inoperable.  I would not use that as an excuse to disregard the plan - but I wouldn't stress it.  Get your head in the game and press on!!  ( I am the day before you!! )

Don't do all broth for three days!  You need protein prior to surgery.  Follow your doctor's diet .

I totally had like 3 glasses of wine (more then my alloted 30 carbs a day) the week prior to my surgery and everything was fine. I stuck to my diet every other day and my surgery went perfectly. I was on an atkins diet for a month with only 30 carbs a day. Luckily no liquid diet until the day before surgery.

Go back to just liquids...don't stress - focus on protein drinks and you will be fine.

GOOD LUCK on your surgery!
