Pre op diet mistake for ds

Surgery date is Tuesday 2/14/12 and I am on my 5 day liquid preop.  I have been having french onion soup from Costco and straining it to rid it of the onion, bread and cheese it comes with.  I was told I should not have eaten this in the first place by another mbr.  I am concerned I may have goofed my preop diet up and am more worried if I will end up with stool which could possibly cause problems with the surgery or cause me to have post op problems.  I sent the email to my doc office but it is the weekend and I wonder if any one here thinks I am worrying to much or if is not a big deal?
Thank you

No big deal. Many of us had no pre-op diet except for the day before and lightweights don't need a stinkin' pre-op liver shrinking diet anyway. Will you have to do a bowel prep? If so, you're golden. :)

From what i was told there is no bowel prep just the 5 day liquid diet which is why I was worried.
thanks for your reply.  My doc is Dr U in Mexico

I still think you'll be fine.

YEA, my doc said he'd been performing this surgery for years w/out a liquid pre-op diet.  He didn't come out and say it, but I got the feeling he thought starving yourself for a week before was unnecessary.

If you are doing the bowel prep.. you are good.  Don't stress over it at all.

Matter of fact, not eating was giving me a migraine by noon ever day, so he told me to eat a light breakfast.

thank you

I had no pre-op diet other then nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery. I think you are fine.

thank you

I ate full, high-protein meals until the day before surgery. That day, I ate jello, popsickles, broth, and my 'last meal' was strained hot-and-sour soup.

You'll be fine.
