My surgery date is in June 3rd! My current weight is 109,4kg but my highest weight was 117kg.
I spoke to my surgeon on Monday (May 17th) about liquide diet pré-op, he said in France this is not necessary. It’s done in US countries. So no liquide is required for me.

Wow! No liquids, so you will eat soft foods?

No not really, I had to follow up with a nutritionist for 6 months in Order to sort out and rebalance my eating habits. By doing so, I lost 10kg by watching what I eat. But surgeon said no liquid diet required. Just no food in my stomach 12 hours before surgery

My surgery date is June 3 the sleeve it getting hard on the liquid diet broth jello premium protein shake only [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] i have 6 more days left

Congratulations! Mine is June 8. If you can try to cut back on carbs and sugar before surgery! I’m finding that cutting back has helped a lot and will help after! Your sooo lucky not to have this miserable liquid diet lol.

Mine is June 9th

How are you doing now that you've had your surgery? I'm in FR as well and will have my surgery in October. No liquid diet for me either. You are correct in that they do not do that here in France. We do still have to eat very light in the pre-op (no sugar, no carbs, no more than 150 g of lean meat, no fats or oils), but we can eat. I wonder why it's not the same in the US?

I’m so happy I had my surgery, I don’t feel like a new person as yet but so glad I can fit into some nice looking clothes that are not leggings. My surgeon said that the reason they do liquid diets in the US, it’s because it allows the size of the organs to shrink so during the operation there are less risks.
I hope that all goes well for October. I had to be operated in February but due to COVID, it was pushed back twice.

I know what you mean when you say it's nice to fit into clothes that are not leggings, as that is pretty much all I wear these days. Wearing nice clothes is probably at the top of my list of things I want to do once I lose this weight...even if it sounds vain!

Glad you're recovering well.

It may sound vain to people that are not in our situation.
I can’t wait for you to experience the joy of just loosing weight my dear
