Liquid Diet- preop

My surgery is December 7th... I am having LAP RNY and I am on a Pre-op Liquid diet of protein shakes since the day after thanksgiving. I cheated today by having a slice of pizza. Im feeling so guilty about it.

Don't let the guilt get to you. I'm sure one slice of pizza won't compromise the liver-shrinking. Nobody's perfect, and that's a long time time to have to be on liquids from a pre-op perspective! As long as you are strict about the diet from now til the 7th, I'm sure you'll do great!

I think pretty much all of us cheat on our liquid diets at one time or another. I think the most important time not to cheat is the few days before surgery since the point of liquids is to shrink our liver and cleanse our bodies. I cheated by eating cheese everyday and I had mcdonalds during the first week of my two week liquid diet. Good luck on Thursday!

GOOOODD LUCK!!!!! You will be fine!!

Holy Smokes! 2 week liquid diet?!? My surgery is tomorrow and I had to do the bowel prep with liquids yesterday and only liquids today.... I cant imagine 2 weeks, I feel for ya. Hang in there! Courtney

This has nothing to do with the liquid diet... but I just wanted to say congratulations on your surgery, and I hope all is going reeeeeally well for you!
