no special diet required



Recommended Posts

My doctor is world recognized for being one of the best. He has not required anything from me. Has this happened to anyone else?

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!

The diet is more to prepare you for surgery... but not everyone needs to do it. It's supposed to shrink your liver.

No special diet for me either.

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.

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 :(

Don't worry. My dr. didn't require any pre-op diet. 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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
