Hello,

I did some research on what is a good Bariatric online group to join. I cam across this one. I am quite nervous about getting surgery done tomorrow. I wanted to ask if any of you were on the post-op diet for only a day. I had my appointment on Wednesday and my surgery date is Tomorrow, did not give me much time to diet. That only gave me a few days to diet. My Dr. didn't ask me to go on liquid diet until a day before my surgery. He did mention not to gain weight though. Did any of you guys encounter such issue? If so, did your surgery get cancelled for weight gain or fatty liver?

your dr has examined you and knows the issues. each one of us is different. I have heard everything from one day to a month but it all depends on the surgeon. trust him. I was not on a liq diet at all. also just told to not gain weight and I had a laproscopic rny. never had any trouble and ate kfc mac and cheese for my first meal out of the hosp. of course could only eat three bites. I have done great with no issues but dr knew my liver was fine from all the pre surgery testing. I sure wish you the best of luck tomorrow

I read on this site that alot of people went thru the 2 week pre-op deit. I spoke to my dct and he said it was mandatory to be on the deit. So I chose to do it anyway and it worked out fine. I trust your surgeon knows what to do you will be fine

Pray it goes smoothly today as I'm sure it will! Typically they want two week of Liver Reduction Diet but I only did one and was approved for one because I was not severely obese. So I did a full week of nothing but smoothies the week before but again trust your surgeon and most of all your higher power. Let us know how you do please.

My surgeon only requires 1 day of pre-op diet too which scared me because I hear everyone else talking about 2 weeks or longer. But I'm trusting them and trying to eat healthy for this last week (surgery on the 25th). Best of luck!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
