It seems from the post, if you are smaller or not a heavy weight, you only do the night before.

Hey

It has to do with how fatty your liver is too. When you have your sleeve, the dr has to move your liver. In order not to damage it, it has to be "fat free" and this is achieved by doing the pre-op diets. ( is what I have been told)

I also understand that it prepares you for what's to come ????

They never mentioned it to me and its too late now so hope its ok. The only thing dr said was TRY to loose a little weight before surgery

I only had to do clear liquids the say before surgery. I was worried since it seemed like I was the only one who didn't have a preop diet I lost 4 lbs the week before surgery but hadn't changed a thing. My surgery went fine ans my recovery has been good too! !
