No Pre Op Diet

Hi everyone! Looks like I'm scheduled April 28 for my sleeve. I do not have a pre op diet. My surgeon only requires no eating or drinking before mid night and special instructions if you take medications. I can not have Advil starting now for me as well but Tylenol is ok.

2 weeks before start having lighter meals that's all. I'm reading everyone talk about their liquid diets and wondering if there are people out there who DID NOT have a pre op diet and if you made your own pre op diet or what.

      Everyone is different. Just follow your surgeon's instructions. Don't try to make it harder on yourself. That said, one thing that helped me was to gradually wean myself off of carbonation and caffe

      This is good advice. I don't drink soda but I'm definitely addicted to my coffee! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

      I never went liquid, but was cut to 1700 calories a day as soon as I entered the program and 1000 for the last week. I would recommend this. First of all, the sooner you drop lbs, the quicker you'l

    I did it have a pre op diet but I put myself on soup for the last two days before op and then nothing after 10am morning of surgery. I've lost over 80 lb since July 16 2015.

    I didn't have a pre op diet. My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. For the last week I have been eating lighter, no carbs or fried foods. Now through surgery I put myself on a liquid diet. Again my doctor didn't put me on a diet but after reading how many people were on a diet, I decided to put myself on one.

    I am on a 2 week liquid diet and was told it was to prepare me for the 2 weeks post-op. Also to show the doctors I can do it. It is super hard I won't lie. I'm on day 4 of liquid, surgery scheduled for 4/29. Hoping I can make it. Didn't cut out the caffeine but after reading this I really should. Good luck!!
