Good luck! Hope it is soon!

My rny is August 15th. My information says I only have to do liquid diet 3 days prior. I cannot take motrin or naproxen from here on out (30 days prior to surgery). I always wonder why some drs do a long liquid diet than others. I should know more at my nutrition class on the 31st.

Lucky you! Maybe the length of the diet depends on initial weight? I don't know, but I know I'd be happier with 3 days instead 2 weeks

Me too!! Lol...I hadn't to do two weeks as well...I've already warned a few ppl I may not be pleasant to deal with during that time!! Lol

Hahaha. I did the same. I warned all my friends at work to not take it personally if I'm a little snappy.

I don't have to do the pre-op diet, but I did have to lose at least 14lbs before they would submit me to insurance.

SD:8/21/13

Mine was completely different! I had to continue to loose weight (no specific amount) over the course of 6 months, then one day prior to surgery I have a liquid diet and a bowel cleanse...that's gonna be a fuuuun day:)
