Does everyone have to complete the "10 day" pre-surgical diet?

No, it varies from patient to patient and surgeon to surgeon. I did not have a pre-op diet and was only told not to eat anything after midnight the night before...

If you don't mind me asking how many pounds were you from your idea body weight?

YES! Omg i hat it i started the 20th this month and im scheduled for surgery 29th of this month. Its really difficult but I keep thinking mushies in a week and a half or so:) i can have broth, sf jello, unjury, a half cup cottage cheese and 8 oz of milk. Thats it. I miss food. Itll be over soon and it wont be so hard once we are sleeved.

Im having surgery march 20th glad to know i have to do liquid diet for 5 days

My surgeon didn't really set a "goal weight" but I would say 100- 115 lbs away from my starting weight would probably be ideal
