cheated during pre op HELP!

Hi all, I am new to the board, but I need to know I am not alone. I cheated on my pre op diet tonite. I had about 4 oz of tomato soup with 3 crackers. My surgery date is Oct 17th and now I am scared, and feel bad. Has anyone else cheated and still got the surgery?

Dont worry. Tomatoe soup and some crackers is not a horrible choice. You want to lose some weight pre op to shrinkj your liver, so it will be easier for your surgeon to operate. Dont expect to be perfect. Soup and cracker are on the post op diet early on as they are easy to digest. You would probaly have cream of potato or cream of chicken, something that has some protien in it. Tomato soup early on has too much sugar could make you dump. I am two years post op and can eat anything that does not eat me, I just have to make good cholcies. The good thing is high fat and high sugar foods just dont taste that good to me anymore. Your taste buds change after surgerty. I never thought I could say no to sweets but I can. Cake with icing is just yucky now.

Hi Lisa, Had me going there, for a second I thought this was the Ohio baord and you were talking about another man.. LOL. Serioulsy, a little soup isnt going to hurt, unless it was high in salt and your on a sodium restriction... As for the pre-op diet, mostly it is for liver shrinkage and to help you to learn how to eat better. Alot of people will never, and I say never admit they cheated with food, or snacked on that cookie, or anything else for that matter, so my hat is off to you~! The biggest battle you will face after surgery is watching how much, how fast, and how little you eat.. A tuff balance of the right foods, the right portions, and the right speed.... So, dont feel bad you have to live and soup, at least it wasnt a BigMac, Fries and a bladder buster Mountain Dew... Gevin
