My dr. Said no pre diet is needed. He said he argues with other doctors about it. All he told me was eat light for 3 days before surgery.

Every surgeon is different and every patient is different, so just follow what your surgeon says.

My surgeon said Clear liquids the day before. But I've been on Protein shakes, light salad and lots of chewable Vitamins to try and better myself prior to surgery. I only ahd to lose 12 pounds and I did that in 10 days but now I'm down close to 25 pounds. My surgery date is Aug 6 and I hope to be close to 30 pounds lighter.

Best wishes

Great job my diet is just low carb(80g) high protien(min 100g) low fat(40g) 1200Total calories included in that at least 3 Protein shakes and good quality choices lots of Water I'm trying spread them throughout the day

My doc said no pre op diet either. he just said dont gain any weight, but if you lose a few lbs thats fine. i lost 5 lbs preop.

wow, amazing how different surgeons are. mine was 2 week all liquid before and 2 weeks after. Best of luck to you.

This may be due to the persons bmi.
