options123 3 Posted April 11, 2011 My doctor is world recognized for being one of the best. He has not required anything from me. Has this happened to anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarao 0 Posted April 11, 2011 My Dr didn't put me on any special diet leading up to my surgery, just liquid diet the day before plus a laxative. All doctors are different. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherinCA 10 Posted April 11, 2011 The diet is more to prepare you for surgery... but not everyone needs to do it. It's supposed to shrink your liver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElfiePoo 109 Posted April 11, 2011 No special diet for me either. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissannde 41 Posted April 11, 2011 My diet? Clear liquids the day before surgery, NPO after midnight. That's IT!! Don't worry about not having to do a pre-op diet. Count your blessings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carlie9475 0 Posted April 11, 2011 My surgery date is May 4, 2011 at OSU medical center and my physician also did not require any type of diet. Just nothing to eat or drink after midnight. I am getting nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just stop eating and drinking by midnight. I'm almost 8 months since surgery. Down 75+ lbs. He did put me on a liquid diet for the month following surgery. Up until my first fill at 6 weeks. I guess that was to get me through bandster hell and to continue losing. Good luck and don't worry -Tara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
