No Pre-Op Diet?

[Mremilio 95]

My doc put me on 2week 1200 cal diet. Basically two shakes and a light meal. I have lost 25 lbs in the last 8 weeks. Self imposed liquid diet just to get used to new sleeved life. I did 1 week of 900 calorie/day just to see if I could hack it and for me it was just away to verify what I was about to do was in fact possible. Good luck and congrats on date. I'm may 4th date.

Same as @@Mremilio, my doc said 2 weeks on a '2 Protein shakes + light meal (lean meat and vegetable) then the last 2 days, liquids only. My date is 5/27!

Isn't the pre-op diet regime based on the condition and position of the liver? That's what I thought. Hmmmmmm.

I didn't have to have a pre op diet either. The day before surgery I only had Clear Liquids. Had no problem.

me too! Just clear liquids day before. My surgery (revision) date is May 27th. "Band to Sleeve"

My doctor didnt, but I started a 1200 calorie diet in January and I've lost @28 lbs. I asked him about the pre op liquid diet and he said it's not necessary as long as I continue to eat only 1200 calories per day and do all Clear Liquids the day before.

Hi Brittany! I am also scheduled for June 9th! Just got my date today! My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet either. They have us a weight loss goal for before surgery but you can choose how you do it. I was also thinking of switching over to liquids for a couple meals a day so I could get used to it before surgery

I've been on the 1200 calorie diet and have lost 14lbs. I was instructed to do full liquids the day prior to surgery and nothing after midnight.
