How is everyone doing with their pre op diets? Liquid or solids? How long is your pre op diet?

Hi kmerton, my surgery date is September 11th! My pre-op diet is liquid with some dairy allowed (light yogurt, lf cottage cheese). I have to be on the liquid diet for almost 4 weeks and start on August 14th. How about you?

Hey Fellow September Sleevers

I am having my surgery on Sept 18th. My pre-op diet is 1week of the clear liquid diet so pretty much Water, broth, sf Jello, sf popsicles, crystal light and any proitien powders made with water. Good luck.

Whoa, sounds like you guys won't go thirsty before your surgery...I have a 2 week pre op that will be solids but strictly lean proteins and vegatables, nothing else..Our liver is what processes carbohydrates in our body..The idea behind our no carb diets is mainly to reduce the size of our livers to give them more room to work during the procedure...I think I would almost rather the liquid diet, seems more strict..

have a great weekend..

My surgery is scheduled for 9/19, I am currently on a high protein / low carb diet, then two weeks before surgery I will switch to 2 protein shakes and 1 lean protein meal a day until surgery... good luck.

My pre-op diet is for 2 weeks, but I think I may start sooner.

My pre-op diet is 2 weeks. My surgery date is 9/17. I'm a revision from Lap-Band to Sleeve. I have been banded since June 2011. Pre-op for me will be 3 protein shakes a day and one meal of protein and veggies. I did this before my Band surgery as well and lost about 20 lbs just from that alone. Funny enough, before my LapBand I started my pre-op diet on Memorial Day and now with the Sleeve I start my diet on Labor Day!

no pre-op diet here except for the standard nothing the day before and nothing after midnight.

My surgery is 9/6. I start a 10 day liquid diet on Monday. 5-6 Protein Shakes a day. The day before surgery is clear liquid only.

Isn't funny how every Dr has people doing something different???

So excited!!!

My surgery date is 9/5 and I've been doing my pre-op diet for 3 weeks. Protein shake for breakfast and lunch, dinner is 6 oz lean protein and veggies. I need to find a new flavor of shake (or maybe unflavored) but other than that it's going well... counting down the days!
