Surgery on Tuesday April 29th-- totally cheated today on liquid diet

So I am day five into my 7 day liquid diet and totally cheated today :-/ and I swore to myself I wouldn't no matter how hard it would be. Now I didn't totally overdo it, but I feel guilty and pray it didn't do any serious damage. No matter what from tonight on out, I will not cheat no matter who says it's not that big of deal. I'm having surgery on Tuesday and don't want to screw anything up. 

Has anyone else cheated on the mandatory liquid diet pre op???? 

My surgery is Wednesday and I have been cheating also. They have to do an open DS on me instead of laproscropic  in so do u think it will matter

I think you will be fine. Just get back in the game. Congratulations and good luck !!

We can't wait to hear from you post-op!

I had to do the liquid diet for two weeks before my surgery (I had my surgery on 4/1/14) and I cheated a couple of times. I didn't overdo it either, just get right back on track and you will be fine. Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted.

There is no virtue in a liquid diet. None whatsoever. The real 'goal' is to get plenty of protein and as few carbs as humanly possible. So how did you cheat? With a steak, or with a bag of potato chips? Steak good, chips BAD.

Um, what about the surgeon's requirements???

I agree with forgiving one's mistakes and learning from them and working at doing what is requested. By my surgeon.

Surgeons' whims don't count in real life. Are you saying that because her surgeon requires a liquid diet she should stick with it, but it's okay for someone else whose surgeon did NOT require it to eat real food?

Doctors are not all-knowing, which should be obvious by the number of different pre- and post-op guidelines they hand out.

So you're directly saying a person shouldn't follow their trained licensed experienced surgeon's recommendations? Because they each have different approaches?

But someone should follow the recommendations of a nonprofessional stranger on the internet?

Wow! Count me out!

I'm saying that the guy who finished last in his class in medical school is still called 'Doctor'.

Since many surgeons DON'T require a liquid pre-op diet, it's clearly not that big a deal. She shouldn't be beating herself up because she 'cheated'. The stress is worst for her than whatever it was she ate.

The ASMBS says that pre-op diets in no way predict post-op success. This is a view arrived at by studying actual patients. I'm pretty confident in their results.

As for counting you out---gladly, Anne!
