No, but depends on the food.....what'd you eat?

as long as you do clear liquids 24 hours before surgery. I was able to eat some stuff up to 2 days before sugery. They are trying to have you shrink your liver to make surgery easier.

It shouldn't be a problem..... Just make sure you don't cheat when you're on liquids....it would suck to go under the knife and have your surgeon say your lungs are too big to operate..... And then have to start all over..... But, still, you're doctor does need to know

oops, I meant liver lol

I had mashed potatoes the night before surgery and didn't tell my surgeon anything about it. When I went back a week later he said my sleeve was the best he had ever done ... Lol

My doctor never put me on a pre-op diet - just 24 hours of liquids before surgery. When I asked him about it, he said it wasn't necessary and there was no evidence that a short time on a special diet would shrink the liver enough to make a difference.

I was not required to do any pre liquid. Just follow the last stage of the post op diet. I wouldn't go crazy but u will be fine!!! Good luck!
