So I went in today for my 6 month diet weigh in. I was told that I am now starting the no carb and high Protein diet. I can only eat high lean protein and no carb veggies until my surgery which will be in April. I was like...wait.....what???? no 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I was told that it would not be necessary if I followed this diet very strictly, however if I really felt it was necessary I could follow the liquid diet instead. I had my lap band removed 9 days ago and was just NPO after 12 am. Has anyone else not had to do the liquid diet phase? I would much rather do the no carb diet but would hate to screw anything up!!

I have 2 weeks high protein low carb and only one day of liquid the day before surgery.

I don't have one either. Surgeons are all over the place on what they require.

Thanks SarahSleeve, I am pretty confident that they know what they are doing LOL It is just strange to me. When I had my band put in almost 12 years ago I did the two week liquid thing and had already had my mindset to repeat it. Thank you for your reply and good luck to you

I'm Having Mine On March 2nd... and I was told high protein and low card diet as well

Man I wish, on day 3 of liquid surgery the 28th, I am starved, head hungry mostly but still ugh This sucks[emoji23]

I didn't have to go full liquid until 1 day prior, so yes it varies

My surgeon didn't require any pre op diet, except a light dinner the night before. Although I followed his instructions, I think it might have been better to do some sort of liquid diet. If nothing else, maybe it would help with the head hunger

I honestly think the "head hunger" was exactly why my surgeon required it. I hated the first few days of it burin thinking by the time my surgery date comes around, I'll be a "head hunger" expert.
