    I didn't have a pre-op diet but I had a day before surgery diet. Just clears the day before. I decided to put my self on a liquid diet just to make sure I didn't go crazy. Well, crazy I went. Two Thur

  • I actually didn't have a liquid pre op diet. Sounds horrible! I just watched what I ate the week before. No food funerals though. Hang in there!

  • I am on day 8 of my liquid diet. I have cheated a couple times. I was light headed and didn't feel so good my 2nd day. I don't think it would hurt anything. It takes any where between 1 day to 3 days

It takes any where between 1 day to 3 days for the food to get out of our digestive system so as long as you don't anything after that before surgery, then you should be fine. I have surgery next friday. Also as long as your losing weight too, it helps shrink the liver better like we are supposed too.

Thank you so much guys for giving me hope I ate a salad and it wasn't much so I hope it doesn't hurt me but I try to keep up with 64oz+ of water a day

From everything I've read you should be ok. But my dr also told me to tell them if I slip up. She said they won't be mad at me but may push the surgery back a day. So it depends on the dr I guess. I have a question too while we are on the subject. If my dr says I can eat egg whites how do y'all think a couple deviled eggs would go? I'm in the same boat as you. I want to bite something! Lol sorry for the long comment. Hope it helps a little. My surgery is Tuesday. ????

I didn't have a pre-op diet but I had a day before surgery diet. Just clears the day before. I decided to put my self on a liquid diet just to make sure I didn't go crazy. Well, crazy I went. Two Thursday's ago, 4 days before my surgery I just stood up, put clothes on and went and got sushi. I then came home and out of nowhere made a pan of bread pudding (ate 1/4) and some popcorn. I was fine after that. Took my milk of magnesia is instructed the day before surgery and stuck to clears. Here I am a week post op. And happy! And down 12lbs.

You'll be fine. Let them know you messed up if you want. Don't gain any weight. Call your dietician if you can just for support. You got this! Good luck!

Thank you so much Cali dos u also get the sleeve? And they haven't told me anything about pre op cleansing drinks? I have so many questions

Hi Brenda - yeah I got the sleeve last Monday! :)

Call them and ask if there's any preop bowel prep or anything like that. Did they give you a binder or any paper work? Mine did and all that info was there.

Brenda90210---I am also on a 14 day full liquid diet, and some days have been tough (I'm on day 6). I have not cheated. I want this surgery so bad that I don't want to risk anything. I would LOVE to cheat some days though! Hang in there--you can do it. Just think of how good you will look and feel when you are done!! When is your surgery?? Mine is the 16th. So jealous of these folks who don't have to do the 14 day preop diet!! ????
