Preop diet fail!!
I'm on day 7 of my preop liquid diet. I have 4 shakes per day and 64+ oz of water/sugarfree jello, etc. The last 2-3 days I've been so hungry! My stomach won't stop growling and I feel nauseous when I'm really really hungry...so tonight I went to get my almond milk out of the fridge, saw the bowl of boiled eggs, and grabbed one. I couldn't get the shell off fast enough! I bit into it and it was like heaven! I feel horrible!!!! Did I just screw it all up? Do I have to call my surgeon and let him know I messed it up???
Only fat and protein in hard boiled eggs. Eggs are basically perfect food. You not only didn't make a bad choice, you made a good choice. Plan to eat a lot of eggs in the future (after you're cleared for solids again). If you aren't clearing two a day minimum, you're doing it wrong.

I was allowed 1 small meal a day during preop diet. Some don't have a liquid preop. I know 2 people who never did it at all. Tho were supposed to!! No issues w surg for any.
Dont beat yourself up!!
I wasn't on a liquid diet at all. I just had to do a low-carb diet two weeks before surgery. I think the main idea of the pre-op diet is to cut your fat intake to shrink your liver. Which I did (lost 10lbs in the two weeks) so all was well.
I didn't even have a pre-op liquid diet (just nothing after 6pm the night before surgery). I don't know how you people did it!! I know I would have caved in very easily. Do NOT beat yourself up...you are human. xoxo

I will be heading in soon as well..and I don't have a preop diet either. regular/basic instructions before. nothing to eat or drink after midnight and if i have any scripts to take, they are to be taken with a small sip of water the morning of.
Thank you for all of the replies and encouragement. This board and it's members are the best! I felt horrible last night...when my husband came home from work I told him about my "cave in" and I almost started crying. I really felt like a failure. Then I woke up and saw these words from you all and I feel so much better. Today is a new day, and a new chance to make it right. I have one week till surgery and I CAN DO THIS!
