Fasting and liquid diet

[TippyToesX 30]

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.

[jene786 16]

True but they don't mention sugar in the nutritional values

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.
