Hi all, my sleeve operation is on Wednesday 1st November. I have been trying to follow the 2 weeks pre-operative diet. Please come someone tell me when I need to stop eating totally for the operation?

Midnight on the day of Nov 1,before your surgery nothing at all, not even water. Your stomach need to be empty. That's what they told me

Thank you for responding. They have told me to come in at 7.30am on the 1st. So would I stop eating only 7.30 hours before? As that would make it midnight

You will stop eating October 31, midnight so you last drink of water food etc will be at 11:59pm on 10/31/17.

Best of luck!

The day before you should probably only do clear liquids...at least that’s what my dr told me.

This is not 100% 'set in stone' but, with most surgeons/clinics, you stop eating between 9pm and midnight the evening before your operation.

Don't rely on me/us here on BariatricPal, though ... call the clinic/receptionist/hospital. Make sure!

Didn’t they give you a surgery binder or folder or email instructions? I am to have my last preop meal (a shake) between 4 and 6 pm the evening before surgery. Water only until midnight and then nothing else. There are also instructions for drinking the smallest sip of water possible to take certain required medications. Others are not allowed. It is all detailed very clearly in my instructions, and my surgery isn’t until 11/17. I would call my surgeon’s office tomorrow.

Exactly. It's normally handed over at one of the clinic or surgeon visits. And I got a separate set of reminders from the private hospital too.

Yep, I got mine on my first clinic visit. Then they emailed me a PowerPoint when my surgery was scheduled.
