So I went to my orientation this past week end and have my appoint for the psyc December 30. Is this the time to start the diet? Or when should I start. I don't really remember them stating when we should start. Does anyone have an idea?

You need to do what your doctor tells you. If you are unsure and don't have another appt before your surgery date, call and ask. What's required depends very much on the doctor and the patient. Some people have no preop diet, some are on all liquids, some must eat 6 small meals a day, etc....and how LONG they diet can range from 1 day to 6 months. So call your doc and find the answer that's right for you! :thumbdown:

Everyone is very different. For me I start 4 weeks of Medifast shakes this tuesday the 18th. My surgery is Dec 18th. I'm sure as you get closer you will get all the information that you need.

Good luck!!

Wait till your doctor tells you to start. I only had to do a 5 day pre-op diet. It is different for everyone. Now is the time to get in all your last supper. LOL Like the things you love that you may not be able to eat. I had pizza that other night and had almost the whole thing. I am gonna miss that. Good luck and I wouldn't stress about the dieting until you are told to.
