So i'm seeing a lot of posts about a a liquid pre op diet and I'm starting to panic because I don't think my dr. put me on one. I'm only on a liquid diet today as my surgery is tomorrow. My dr. said I should try to lose weight but he didn't put me on any specific diet plan....did I miss something??

Different surgeons will have different recommendations and preferences, and it will also vary on the patient.

I have seen a few people who have just had to have liquid the day before the surgery. Others have to do Atkins for a few weeks, etc.

It just depends on the surgeon, and as long as you follow your surgeon's advice, you'll be fine. :)

Chelsea i was thinking the same thing. i am getting banded on Wednesday, and I rememeber when I took his seminar he said that there would be a 1 week liquid diet before surgery to shrink the liver. When I scheduled my surgery 2 weeks ago he told me to eat normally, not to gain weight and do an all liquid diet the day before surgery. Good luck. Let me know how everything went.

So could anyone provide a detailed description of the liquid diet?

What to eat, how much and how often?

Thanks

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
