I don't have an answer yet either, I am scheduled for the 3rd. I am trying not to flip out.

Sep 22 is my big day

Yay! I'm the 22nd also. You're the first one I have seen with the same date.

I am scheduled for September 30th! Just got the news I am approved for surgery today. I start my pre op diet on the 16th. I am excited and nervous. ????

Hello all,

I wonder why on earth are you all on liquid diets before operation. I did my operation 2 weeks ago, and before my operation I had a high Protein low carb meals, chicken and meet with salads with no limitation on quantity.

Planning september 5 but im still bot sure What To choose, sleeve or by-pass?

Hi there,

It depends on your weight and your preference, I prefer Sleeve cause it has less Dumping Syndrome, which is more common in the Bypass.

Different doctors have different requirements for pre op. And mine has different requirements based on your BMI. I am on liquids for 2 weeks and Clear Liquids the day before. The objective is to shrink my liver.

Dear Scout,

I had a BMI of 44

The shrinkage is done from the reduction of carbohydrates, you are definitely taking Protein shakes right? Instead of the Protein shakes, have a steak with salad or Chicken breast. To stop eating 2 weeks before the operation is psychologically stressful, especially for the people who love to eat. Some of my friend were eating everything until the last day before their operation, and now after the operation, they had wonderful results.

Yes. Protein shakes 3 times a day and all the clear liquids I can stand. I start tomorrow and feel confident about success with it.

Best of Luck

I am Sept 14..super excited and nervous also. I also am curious why diet restrictions 2 weeks before surgery. My Dr said eat breakfast day before then liquids rest of day nothing after midnight.
