I'm March 8th! The dr said I have to go in one week before for a preop appointment but he hasn't said anything about a liquid diet before hand? Maybe he will in my preop appointment [emoji47]

You will discuss this during your Pre-Op appointment. My surgeon just gave me my information when I got approved. You will most likely be given a packet. It will break down the 6 - 8 week Pre-Op and Post-Op diet. Have the vitamins you will need to take. How to eat and drink. What is acceptable and what is not.

I think it depends on your BMI, Current weight and health status. I've heard that a high BMI will result in a two week liquid diet. I'm preparing myself for that.

I think it really depends on your surgeon. My doctor gave me a binder with LOTS of information, including the various pre-op diet regimens, at my 1st appt with him, and I met my nutritionist the same day. I was told that EVERYONE there has at least 2 weeks of the liquid diet pre-op. The assumption is that if you are overweight, then so is your liver, which needs to shrink before surgery. My BMI is 40, and it will be the 2-weeks for me! Starting it on the 21st. I am stocked up on Premier Protein shakes-4 flavors, sugar free jello, popsicles, etc. I am ready...now I just hope my body is LOL. I have been eating a highprotein, very low carb diet for a couple of weeks to prepare, and so far have lost 13 lbs an feel great. I am also off of one of my two diabetes pills because my blood sugars were getting too low! Yeah!

So I don't know why I did this to myself .I just looked at some of these horrible stories of near death experiences and people being really sick after a bypass and now I scared myself to thinking of having just the sleeve and now a little bummed .

Who's starting their liquid diet w/ me tomorrow or in the near future?

This plus sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles and broth are all that I am allowed for the next 3 weeks (give or take).

Those stories are anywhere. They happen. But heck I've had a csection in which I was completely sedated and I had to sign papers saying that I understand the risk. Anytime you have a surgery, no matter how minor, there are risk... especially when it involves meds for sedation.

You'll be okay! Look up statistics.
