Should I think it's weird that in all my paperwork there is no mention of a pre op diet? I'm considering having the surgery at Lenox Hill in NYC. The only thing is Clear liquids the day before.

I have seen many posts from people on here where they just did the clear liquid diet the day before surgery. Every doctor is different. If this is what your doctor has instructed you to do, it should be fine. If you are super concerned about it, talk to your doctor and see if he/she can ease your mind.

All they said was no eating after midnight the day before.

My doc said light Breakfast, cream Soups for lunch, and "see thru" liquids for dinner, and no eatting after midnight.

Many of my Docs patients had to lose 10% EW before surgery, I was at the lowest BMI allowable already and he said don't bother. Clear Liquids day before only. Pre surgery diets are mostly to reduce the liver size to make surgery easier, and show you are serious! I did have to write down everything I ate for two weeks before.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
