I didn't have one. I did, per my ins. co have a 6 month supervised nutritional plan, but they really never gave me a diet to follow, just watch what I eat and exercise.

I only had a 2 day liquid before surgery. what are your instructions before surgery? My date was 12-31. I'm 5 days out and doing well.

I did the 6 month diet but I'm talking about the diet rt before surgery

I only had one day of protein shakes before the surgery. I dropped 19 lbs the first 10 days.

I lost 14 lbs the 1st two weeks, and I am down 18 lbs almost 3 weeks out.

your lucky! best wishes!

I was sleeved on the 12/19 day before surgery I had lasagna for dinner then after 12 pm that nite no more food I was weighing 253 I am now 225 still on Clear liquids till the 17 of January I can't lie the other day I had 5 crackers just because I hate the fact if not eating but they went done well and I was able to also have a bowel movement the next day so everything is going great!!

this is all I had also. I had my surgery Oct 8 2012

well i think its good to have the preop that way at least you have time to adjust to it before the whole thing goes down

I only had a two day liquid diet before surgery and I have lost like 32 lbs at 3 weeks out.

No preop diet here, I'm almost 4 weeks out at last weigh in (last Monday) i was down 38lbs since pre op appt. Every Dr has different rules!!

I only had to do clear liquids the day prior - also magnesium citrate as a bowel prep.

I will say that I was also cautioned since I had weighed in in October that my weight had to match that or be less day of surgery - I had gained 4 pounds with the holidays and did low carb that week prior to get back to my weight.

I think the bowel prep really helped me not be uncomfortable.

I had surgery 12/31 and have lost 12 pounds as of yesterday.

Good luck and congrats
