mchllshrms reacted to NewLife2011 in No Pre Op Diet?I was not required to do a pre-op diet and I'm really glad about that. you are going to have the rest of your life to learn how to eat properly, no reason to start early if your doc says it isn't necessary. It is way easier to stop eating after surgery because your stomach is tiny and you don't get hungry, why starve and suffer unnecessarily beforehand? (Just my opinion
BTW, my surgery was a breeze, no complications or ill effects due to the lack of a pre-op diet.
I love my sleeve and would do it all again in a heartbeat! Good luck to you on your amazing new adventure!

mchllshrms reacted to Capt Derel in No Pre Op Diet?I have saw a few posts that said the same thing. I have visited a few boards and the general consensus says to do atleast a 7 day liquid diet and clears 24 hours leading up to surgery. Why? It shrinks the fatty tissue in the liver plus no solids in your stomach make it easier for the stomach to heal, less gas after from residual decomposition, and it allows your stomach to focus on healing rather than multitasking.
Thats pretty much the just of it all.
Good luck
