Hi!! I feel like my surgeon is the only one that requires a 2 day liquid diet!

How long is your pre-op diet??

I'll only have a 2-day.

Depemds a lot on dr. And previous weightloss. My last solid meal was Breakfast the day prior to surgery then clear fluids until midnight that night. The week before I was on south beach phase one.

But at the beginning of my journey and before scheduling any tests they wants to see my commitment to losing 5%. I did that.

Hw 277

Sw 256

CW 5 days post opt about 250 (surgery 1/19)

Good luck!

Pre op diet is 2 weeks of boost meal replacement here and raw or steamed vegetables 2 cups a day

My suregon said if you have a good suregon, it's not necessary to do weeks worth of liquid dieting before the surgery to shrink your liver. The skill is what is necessary.

Well, a good surgeon still has to work around the liver and having a smaller liver is always going to make things easier, quicker and ultimately better results for quick recovery. I've been diagnosed with fatty liver in the past, so whether my surgeon requires it or not, I probably will.

Mine was 14 but I started 2 days early my surgery is on the 11th

I'm going to have my surgery march 11 my question is do I really have to buy my vitamins on line or can I buy them at a pharmacy like wegmans, Walmart or CVS drug store I know I have to buy online my vitamins ADE &K because no one else has that but I'm wondering about the rest

I bought mines at a pharmacy no issues they even gave me a print out of where they were cheaper and what brand to buy. Try costco

I don't think we have a coscos only wegmans Walmart or a drug store like CVS and rite aid I need to get multi and mineral vits and 500 mg calcium citrate along with ADE&K

Walmart is good i got my first batch of vitamins from them

Mine is 2 weeks, and I have to buy the bariatric advantage from the dr ofc. And vitamins. 300 bucks plus my co pays.
