No pre-op diet

I would have died on a 10

Week program! Ha ha.

Oh dude, a 10 week program would have just killed me!! hahaha But I'm sure I would have found a way to do it. Anything to get this band out at this point! hahaha Waiting to see what he says... most of his patients says it was a week or two of liquids... I can swing that!

drea,

I don't want to take the wind out of your outraged sails, but I did write an apology to you, which I'm not sure ever appeared,

I will repeat that I am sorry for my remarks. It was wrong to question your post, especially since you're new. I'm glad you stayed and made a new friend.

Best of luck to you on your surgery. BTW you can delete your profile. There's a thread on this if you care to look at it.

Hi drea

Good question. This is so new for me. I was just "sleeved" (is how I am reading to refer to the procedure) this past Monday 2/25/13.

I didn't have to do a pre-op diet except for 1day. The reason I was told was BMI at 37 & not BMI over 40.

I am hoping this is a good and safe place to learn and share.

Thanks for sharing your question

I have noticed that a lot of people are having to do a pre-op diet for a couple weeks prior to surgery. My surgeon only requires a soft/liquid diet the day before surgery and that's all. Did anyone else no have to do the 2 week diet?

Hi there, yes they recommend it to reduce fat in the liver, which assists the surgeon with the operation & less chance of leakage. I'd be questioning your Dr as the pre op diet is considered best practice. Cheers Aussie

My surgeon did not require a lengthy Pre op liquid diet other than the Pre op magnesium citrate cleanse along with Clear Liquids one day prior to surgery. I have not suffered any complications as a result of a different Pre op plan. My BMI was very high and post surgery my weight loss has been consistent and steady. Hope this helps.

Because you have a low BM. I didn't have to pre op diet cause my BMI was 31.
