My doctor didn't put me on a preop diet of liquids only except for the day before surgery. Is this common? I thought everyone is on a liquid diet for two weeks before surgery usually? Mine is only the day before. Anybody else experienced this too?

There are so many doctors who have different requirements that it makes your head spin here. Hopefully you trust in your surgeon. Many of us would have liked to skip the pre op dieting! Best of luck!

When my pre op diet starts I will only be on a liquid diet for 2 days (thank you Jesus) but a low carb high Protein for 2 wks

That's all I have to do too! We are lucky!

Because of my pre-op weight loss, my surgeon said I didn't have to do a liquid diet at all. (I just have to do Clear Liquids the day before the surgery.)

However, I have decided to do the liquid diet anyway (six days of liquid diet and one day of clear liquids). I think it will be easier to go ahead and get used to that before the surgery rather than after the surgery.

My surgery is Monday. Starting today I had to start the diet we go home on. I just do this today and tomorrow, no liquid diet. Protein shakes, low fat milk, cottage and ricotta cheese, sugar free pudding and Jello.. I honestly wouldn't mind this diet if I felt full. Anxious to feel satisfied because all I can think about is food.

I was told the same thing. I lost 40# during my 6 month Dr supervised program and they only needed me to lose 15#. Granted I've gained 5# back in the last 6 weeks or so.... I should be okay for surgery which sounds like it will be next month
