No Pre Op liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

Hi I am having my sleeve tomorrow! !! Lol I am using a very reputable and highly rated surgical team I am just curious, I was never requested to follow a 2 week liquid diet just told to keep my intake light the day before. Did anybody else here experience that?? It seems everyone I read about had to do 2 weeks liquid pre op

I am currently on my pre op diet. I am only required 7 days of 2-3 Protein Shakes and 1 small serving of lean Protein with veggies daily. Im having a sleeve surgery in Tijuana and am self paying. I, too, question my pre op diet plan as most people on this board are required to do a longer liquids only diet. My BMI is 35. I guess I need to trust in my surgeon and hope for the best. Surgery date is 9/2.

Good luck my BMI is 44 and I am having surgery in the states. After some further digging I found a few comments on here saying they also had no liquid diet just an 8 hour fast before surgery like I am I guess. But yes I guess we can only trust our surgeons.

Not having to wait for insurance approval will make it quicker but there are still things to be considered. How busy is the surgeon? You may have to wait a few weeks to get on the schedule. Also, some pre-op testing may still be required like blood work. It totally depends on the surgeon. Good luck to you!

My surgery is Tuesday. Only Monday is liquid diet. Then nothing after midnight. Not too shabby!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
