I keep hearing everyone talk about a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I was told by my Dr that is only for sleeve patients. Is anyone else scheduled for R&Y on or around Aug 29, and not on a liquid diet ?

My RNY is 8/19/19 and this week I’m doing 1 meal & two shakes a day. 2 days before surgery... full liquids

Pre-op diet programs vary all over the map from many months (!) of liquids to nothing special at all; some will vary depending upon procedure or patient's BMI. Your doc only requiring for the VSG may indicate that he is quite comfortable doing the RNY, but less so doing the VSG. More typical is something on the order of what Chiptress is doing - a low calorie meal or two (lean meat and veg, or low cal frozen dinner) and a protein shake or two; the all liquid seems to be less common, but we hear a lot more about them because they are so objectionable.

I had to do it. I'm RNY. Total liquids. No food.

My surgery is in October and I have 6 months of monitoring first. I haven’t really lost any weight. Am I suppose to lose weight before surgery?

Yes I've been told 3 weeks only liquids. Shakes everyday to help the liver and lose a little weight as well for best chase of success with surgery but also it prepares you for when you have surgery and have to live on liquids for few weeks post op!

Yep. I have a 2 week pre-op diet and I’m RYN. 1st week is 2 protein shakes, 2 snacks and a “lean and green” dinner, (3-4 ounces lean protein and a cup or two of non-starch veg and of course water. 2nd week is 5 protein shakes, plus the 64oz water.

Very lucky to have that much food.. I've been told 3-4 shakes a day no food preop as that will get you prepared for the first few weeks post op of liquids only..

Oops repost my bad can't delete

Im getting rny done i was told two days clear liquid diet b4 surgery.

I had a pre op liquid diet for my sleeve and my surgeon said it was to shrink my liver for the surgery because they did it laparoscopically.

Idk if that helps at all lol
