Happy Holidays,

Each surgeon is different. I didn't require a bowel prep and was only on clear liquids the day before surgery.

Just got a call from the surgeons office..moving my surgery to THIS FRIDAY!! Geez! I'm feeakimg out trying to get everything in order to shave a week off of my regular date and schedule . I drive 3 hours one way to have my preOp at the hospital..then drive 3 hours home..work one day...go back to the surgeons office on Thursday for a day long class on having the sleeve and all that goes with it. No class no surgery...then Friday at 7:15 surgery... Shaking in my boots right now....but sorta happy its fast and furious instead of waiting.

New surgery date of Feb. 22!

Am I missing something? Are you all being instructed to take clean your insides out before surgery? Did yall not have to do a liquid pre op diet? My doctor didnt say anything about having to take Milk of Magnesium or colon cleanse before my surgery next friday.

No MoM just 2 week high protein diet then 2 day liquid just before surgery

What usually consists of FULL LIQUID DIET? That's my meal plan after surgery...I'll know more Thursday...the rest of the answers.

Good luck I'm goin in at 6 Am tomorrow morning...yayyyyyyy

Thanks. Good luck to you too!

I've been on clear liquids and protein shakes for a week. No colon cleanse or anything like it. I do have to clean my tummy with special antibacterial soap tonight and in the morning.

It just depends on your surgeon. I wasn't told do the colon cleanse either
