Although I plan to slow it way down to plain diet 1 week prior because I’m so scared ... of everything. Would love to hear from others if they also had no pre op diet...

I had to follow a healthy diet for the 3 mos leading up to the surgery then just clear liquids the day before.

I didn't have one as well. It depends on liver size.

With the band i had to do a 2 week diet... one week of full liq and one week of clear. Than after the reverse... one week clear, one week full, one week puree, one week softs and then reg.

With the sleeve it was the same, but i only had to do the one week clear because my BMI was only 30.

My doctor didn’t have me do a preop diet, but does make some patients do it. It just depends on everyone’s individual medical case
