Salams!
I'm wondering why my doctor doesnt have me starting the liquid pre-op diet earlier. My surgery date is June 28, and I was told to start it June 21, so one week before.


Walaikum Asalam

Pre-op diets vary from provider to provider, and are generally based on the type of surgery you're having and your overall health (I believe).

Some surgeons require 2 weeks, some require 1. Some don't even have a "pre-op" diet other than full liquids the day before surgery.

But when are you getting your Water in?

My surgeon expects me to get 64+ ounces of Water in daily... I can't imagine doing that before suhoor and after iftaar.


I feel guilty... But I truly don't think I'd be able to get into ketosis unless I followed the diet my nutritionist/ surgeon provided.

I'm based in New Zealand and we're fasting slightly less than 12 hours and its been relatively easy here to get the water in as from 5:15 pm til 5:45 am I am able to drink water. So I have a glass every hour until ten and I have two when I get up in morning with shake before starting fast.

Fat free doesn't necessarily mean sugar free.

Your BMI provably isn't that high. I didn't do any liquid diet pre-op. They request it to shrink the size of your liver so it's easier to do the operation.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
