So I am on day 7 of my 10 day liquid diet, I've done well and feel pretty good. Other than a can of tuna and occasional bit of chicken the first 4 days its been all clear liquids, today I am craving peanut butter sandwhich, ugh. Wondering if I can get away with one slice of toasted wheat bread, this close to surgery?

I wouldn't risk it!  They want your liver to shrink and your body to be clear of solids for the surgery.  If they go in, and find that they can't work around your liver, or anything else they wanted taken care of, they could postpone your surgery!  And Peanut Butter has too much fat for this close.  You can do it!  Just distract yourself.  It's a good learning tool for after surgery when you REALLY have to restrict yourself.

Hang in there!!

Don't do it.  It's too early and your pouch is still healing.

Every doctor is different as to what they require. If he requires the diet before hand he has a reason. Some dont do the liquid diet they do bowel prep the day before. I had to do 2 week liquids only.  Your so close, dont let a craving stop everything. GO get some popsicles, Italian ice , PB2 mixed into your shake, something else. Check chew flavored gum, drink more water.
