Anyone else here not do a preop diet? I'm June the 4th I go to see the surgeon on the 29th and also have a preop class on the 30th. But there is no preop diet other than 2 days of clears before surgery. I see everyone on here doing 2 weeks and it scares me! What if my liver is too big? Ect,ect,ect! I trust my surgeon and staff the center is a center for bariatric excellence and he is a top trained surgeon. People from all over the country come to him for their surgery and his complication rate is well below the national average. I know he knows what he is doing but it's all so confusing lol! I'm gonna make a list of questions for when I see him next week. Sorry for the long rant!

I don't have a pre op diet. I just can't eat past midnight night before surgery. I'm afraid I'm going to gain weight too because I stopped one of my meds and it can cause you to gain weight. I think I'm gonna do some mirolax or something couple days prior just to be safe.

My Dr requires a pre-op diet that is 30g carbs or less for 30 days and then two days before surgery you do a bowel prep with the magnesium citrate. But, thankfully no liquid diet before because I have two weeks of it afterwards.

Nope no preop diet , only the night before ...if I was able to do a 2 week liquid diet , I wouldn't need this surgery LOL I give you all alot of credit being able to , but my DR doesnt require it ...my op date is June 6 so I figure I'll start to ease up like 3 days before

Congrats and good luck!! Im June 6th over here on the eat coast (PA) .

I'm in DE...good luck!

Ok guys so this past week was hell. I received a call from my surgeons office on Fridays saying that my PCP hadn't cleared me for surgery because my blood/iron levels were low. Needless to say I was livid!!! So I spoke with my PCP and she told me it would be better to wait several weeks to build back up reserves....several weeks!!! I told her I still wanted it done in June and that I would do what I needed to, to get my levels up, so I started taking my Iron pills twice a day along with eating red meat, liver veggies, raisins, and algae. Just had my blood drawn today wish me luck....tentative new date is June 11th

I'm June 12. My doct only require that I do a low carb high protein diet 2 weeks before. And liquids 48 hours before surgery.

I was told that patients whose BMI is over 50 are required to do the weeks of liquid diets. However, on my own this week I am working on replacing some meals with protein shakes. Just to help eliminate some of the shock my body is going to go through
