No pre-op diet!?

[Wendydarling19 310]

I am having my surgery in 2 days and wasn't given a pre-op diet. Just to be on liquids the day before. Is this odd?

My surgeon told me I could forgo the pre-op diet but left it up to me if I wanted to do it. They said it was because I only gained one puns since I started my journey. I decided to do the diet BC I want to be on the safe side and shrink my liver i figure it couldn't hurt.

My pre op diet was normal food until one day before. That's becoming more common these days.

I'm scheduled for this Monday and mine is the same, Clear Liquids the day before and that's it.

Good luck and best wishes for your day!

I also had no pre-op diet, just clears the day before as well. My surgeon said it was only important that I not be in a gaining cycle when I went into surgery. I mainly ate low carb and lost 9 lbs in the month before surgery. I'm a week post-op today.

How has your post op been so far?

I'm so close to my day and I'm curious since everyone seems to have such different experiences..

I'm doing pretty good. Gas pains the first couple of days. It was shocking how hard it was to get all my Fluid in! Today I can reach my goal fairly easily. I'm still on Clear Liquids but can add Protein shakes tomorrow. Aside from the gas pains, I haven't really had any pain. Only took pain meds to sleep the first two night at home. I'm actually at the beach with my whole family for a long ago planned vacation. I'm not going out on the beach during the hottest parts of the day but I can go in the evenings. Of course, I'm not going in the Water etc. Good luck to you!
