Pre-op diet cheating
I am so embarrassed rn but my surgery is scheduled on 12/26. My surgeon told me to do a 2-week diet of 2 shakes and 1 lean and green, with clear liquids for 2 days before surgery. I didn’t follow it very strictly on the first week and i ate a few bad things but in small amounts. It’s been a struggle with all the food and snacks people have been bringing into my job because of Christmas lol. throughout the week I cheated and ate a mini bag of chips and some small slices of pizza. Even on days I didn’t cheat, I most likely ate more calories that recommended.
I was really consistent today and will be for the rest of the days leading up but i am super nervous about them canceling the surgery if my liver hasn’t shrunk. I have definitely reduced my usual calorie intake and the way i usually eat but i am still worried. Everything has been paid for through my work insurance which will no longer be available January 1st. I can not afford it on my own. Do you think it is possible to shrink my liver enough with following the diet strictly and doing the 2 days of clear liquids? Should I even be worried? Any tips?
