    Don't worry about the little faux pax of deviating from the pre op too much. Just don't do it again. There were a few people that messed up the day before at the clinic, they had to wait till last b

BentleyJade . I am scheduled for surgery on August 6th, and I have to do a 14 day liquid diet. That scares the crap out of me, but something that is required so I have to do if I want to move forward in my plans.

10 days

Yes Ma'am it will be over very quickly, and then you will radiantly shine as your new self starts to emerge. Save me a seat on that bench. I want to be a Loser...lol

I only had complete liquids postop and was on them for 3 weeks.

Edit.....oops! Just realized you asked about preop. Sorry! I did it for two weeks but it included 1 low carb meal a day.

2 weeks

1 day pre-op, none required post-op.

3 days. I am starting my pre-op tonight and have my surgery this Friday. I think that the number of days on the pre-op diet is determined by your BMI. My friend is getting sleeved on Friday and her pre-op is 5 days. I'm not sure what her BMI is, but mine is 39.

14 days. I start mine tomorrow. My BMI is 41. I am so excited and nervous!

I think mine is 7 days and i start tomorrow as well.. Surgery is July 19th . I am so excited and soooooooooooooo fricken scared. I will be going to Dr Almanza

I'm also nervous about my pre-op labwork I had done yesterday, I always think they are gonna call and tell me I'm deathly sick and can't have surgery! :/ nerves are a sucky thing!!
