My doctor didn't put me on a pre op diet. He told me to start clear diet two days before procedure. This makes me nervous. ???? my procedure is 1/18/16. Has anyone had the same experience?

He has told me 3 days before to have the protein drinks and a small meal once a day. I think it's odd but I am going to call his clinic tomorrow as I need to know exactly what I have to do.

Good luck on the 18th ...

good luck on your journey as well!!! I guess everyone's got their own way huh)

I suppose all Dr do but I still think it's odd.. I am such a control freak that I am going to make very very sure it's right! lol!

I am scheduled to have my surgery on Feb. 1 and my doctor has me doing a liquid diet only for 3 weeks. 4 shakes a day and if still hungry can eat raw plan veggies such as carrots, celery, cucumber, onion or peppers. It seems a bit excessive to me but I will do what I'm told.

I agree and mine has said no dieting at all.. It's strange that they all do t follow the same protocol?

I don't have any sort of pre-op diet. I have my tests to check I'm Ok for surgery the day before (which have to be done on an empty stomach) and then can't eat/drink anything after midnight that night for surgery the next morning.
