Pre Op diet

[fingers crossed 2]

Has anyone only had 3 days of shakes/diet before there banding? I've only been given 3 days notice and am a bit worried my liver may not have shrunk enough by the time the op comes

As long as your doctor is alright with it, I wouldn't worry about it. Some people have 0 days of pre-op diet. So if your doc says that 3 days is enough, don't stress it! Good luck!!!

I am quite ashamed to even say this but I spent my 2 weeks pre-op eating everything in the world I could get my hands on!! All of the things (especially pasta) I am was afraid I couldn't have after (I didn't find this site before going in and had 3 weeks from the decision to even get the band to actual surgery). I was fine....No hernia nothing wrong with liver....and I was at 42 BMI.

I am scheduled for surgery on June 23rd and just found out my doctor does not require a pre op diet. I will have a post op one though and don't start solids until the 4th week after surgery. Yikes! I guess every doctor is different. Good luck to you. ???Š
