They should have given you a pre-op diet according to your BMI. I guess a week or two you should start. I am no expert and my surgery is November 2. My BMI is 38 and 36 on good days. So 3 days before surgery I start a diet of no sugar, no or low carbs, one Protein Drink in the morning and one in the afternoon. They higher the Protein the longer you will stay full. Then for dinner lean chicken, tuna, or turkey only. I can have all the sugar free Jello or clear broth that I want. I think it helps the surgery go better for you. May be less gas or something. If your BMI is higher than mine you probably should do a week or 2 before. Your doctor should be able to tell you. From my dieting experience I found that the good oils (olive, avocado is the best) will help you stay full. I need to ask if we can have oils. But always ask your doctor. I am just another patient that has questions too.

During my seminar I was told to eat light 3 days before and the day before liquid diet only. I was told by my physician overweight (i hate the word obese) individuals have a larger liver and the light meals before surgery allow the liver to shrink slightly so the surgery is smother sailing!

I went for my nutrition consult today! Next week Psych Consult! I should hear about insurance acceptance by the middle of October. How exciting and terrifying!!!

How is everyone else doing on all of the pre-surgery hoops??

Yes! I heard that too. If the liver is too large there will be complications. It is hard to do because the liver is in the way. If the liver bleeds I think that is really bad. But people blame the doctor instead of thier neglect to follow directions.

November 1st. Ft Myers Florida with dr. Sheih. Super excited but also extremely nervous. My aetna insurance does not cover this surgery because they say my employer opted out of this coverage. Which sucks.... Oh well. Gotta do what is needed regardless! Good luck everyone.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
