I'm still about 5 months out from surgery but I had my nutrition evaluation already. I was surprised to find that my surgeon's pre-op diet has features a very small but solid dinner (4oz lean Protein, 1 cup green veggies)

My research has never seen anything like this. Is this unusual?

My VSG is September 1, 2015. My pre-op diet is all solids, there is NO liquid only or anything like that. It is a low calorie, low fat, low carb diet. I just don't eat or drink anything after midnight before surgery. I was wary due to seeing ALL of the posts about everyone else's diets, but I trust my surgeon and NUT. They are a center of excellence and he is a very well known, well rated doc with a ton of surgeries under his belt. I'm also interested in any others out there who had similar diets. Good luck with everything!!

Congrats on starting your journey @! No this is not unusual at all, I'm currently on my on my 2 week pre-op (liver shrinking) diet and it's a 1000 calorie diet with all food except on the day before surgery I'll have all liquids. Keep in mind that the pre-op diet can be done multiple ways and it varies depending on the hospital, surgeon, bariatric program and patient. Research is great but don't lock into it.
