Thanks so much. Do most doctors require you to do a pre op diet?

Thanks so much. Do most doctors require you to do a pre op diet?

Congrats! Most Doctors require some sort of pre-op diet, it may vary on the length. But since I've been on LBT I have also now found that some Doctors don't require a diet. I wish my didn't, lol. I start my Pre-Op diet liquid diet tomorrow, my Pre-Op appt. is on June 6th, and my surgery is June 14th. Keep us posted!

I think most require a 2 week Protein Shake diet. It helps shrink the size of your liver so the surgeon can access the top of the stomach with fewer complications. My doctor gave me 4 meal tickets during the 2 weeks so I could have 4 high Protein, low fat meals during that time. You'll get thru it. Remember it's only 2 weeks!

Wow!!! That is great to hear about the 4 ticket meals. I'm from western Mass. And my Doc. Is through Mercy Hospital in Springfield. And I to had the two week pre op liquid diet. But my doc just gave my instructions with pure liquids! Today marks the first week I finished pure liquids. And it isn't easy I am irritable at times and I think I am past the I miss chewing phase but I do miss food.....idk I think that if I didn't have the support I have this probably would have been unbearable.....today I came home from work to roses and cards telling me how proud my family is of me and how much of an inspiration I have been. I have to hold onto things like that because there are def moments during the day where I struggle. But all I can say is when I forget I just open my eyes a little wider and take in what is around me and listen to what people are saying and I know I can do this.

[Jolly 11]

Wow what a great attitude you have! Just remember it's only one more week and your family is right it is nothing less than Heroic! Good luck, you'll do great!

Congrats! Every doctors pre op is different from how long, to what you can/can't eat. I've seen anywhere from 4 weeks- to one week pre op, I've seen one,two lean meals to nothing but shake.
