September 25, 201213 yr Every surgeon has their own idea what works so if you listen to anyone other than you're surgeon you're bound to get a lot of conflicting information. Do what your surgeon says, not a book or anyone else.
September 25, 201213 yr All Drs are different. That's something you'll hear a lot around here. My Dr requires 30 days of full liquids, yeah!!!
September 25, 201213 yr My doctor only required 1200 calorie diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and FULL liquid diet day BEFORE surgery. . . they all have their own way
September 25, 201213 yr All Drs are different. That's something you'll hear a lot around here. My Dr requires 30 days of full liquids, yeah!!! I was on 4 weeks of liquids post op. Oh my gosh it sucked lol. I was so glad when it was over.

September 25, 201213 yr 30 days!!! and I will do those 30 days. I truly believe in following Drs orders.
September 25, 201213 yr My surgeon did not put me on a pre-op diet....I just have to eat light a day before and NPO after midnight.....So yeah, all surgeons do it on a case by case basis, so follow your surgeons recommendations.

September 25, 201213 yr Who gave you the book? It's possible you need to be on liquids for a period post op and the doctor was giving you a sample food plan for when you move to solids. I was on clear liquids with protein shakes 7 days, full liquids with protein shakes 7 days, soft mushies 7 days, denser mushies 7 days, and back to solids after that.
September 25, 201213 yr 30 days!!! and I will do those 30 days. I truly believe in following Drs orders. if you dont i shall banish you from my kingdom and then kick your hiney
