Did anyone NOT have to do the preop diet?



Recommended Posts

I had a 1 week period diet. 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. I did cheat a few times though......you know "my last meal" about 5 times like. Thankfully all went well though

Me? I was serious during the post op diet. I was a wee bit crazy though, I made melon and cucumber Water, even made a concoction out of pickle juice. I would crush Popsicles and then eat them like a snow cone. I would freeze my Protein drinks and made shaved ice treats out of them too.

Ok now i'm confused. In one post you said you did not do one and in another you said you did and went a wee bit crazy. lol. am i missing something?

Didn't have a required pre op diet. Guessy doctor didn't feel my liver size would be an issue. I was seeing a nutritionist for 3 months prior and we were working on changing my habits before sugery so it wasn't too much of a shock. I lost 7 pounds prior. I just had to have the typical liquid 24 hrs prior to sugery.

That hasn't been mentioned to me at all. My preop appointment is on the 12th and my surgery is on the 17th of this month.

Regardless of the liver effect I appreciated the pre-op diet since it helped me prepare for the much tougher post-op diet.

I didn't have a pre-op diet, my Dr said that since my BMI was under 40 in the beginning, a pre-op diet wasn't required, but recommended to eat high Protein, which I usually did anyway. My pre op BMI was 32

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
