My surgery is scheduled for 2/8 and I do not have to do a liquid diet. I asked my nutritionist as I see so many here posting about it but she said it wasnt necessary. I only have to do liquids on the day before, I can do water, decaf black coffee,cranberry, apple or grape juice .... good luck [emoji18] Sent from my SM-N960U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
