SunnyCox 245 Posted June 19, 2012 I will be sleeved 28Jun2012. When I spoke to Omar, he told me to start transitioning to healthier foods, and he instructed me to go on the liquid diet 3 days prior to surgery. I have a BMI of 50. I figured I would be on a pre-op diet longer. Is this normal, or should I call him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emptynesterpam 13 Posted June 21, 2012 When the cravings hit on the pre-op diet I ate the Kozy Shak sugar free tapioca or rice pudding. They are in the dairy case and yummy. They go down very easily now that I am post op too. I can only eat half at a time now! I have a BMI of 36. I am thinking of really cutting down 1week before my surgery and then do the Clear Liquids for 3 days . My surgery is scheduled July 2nd with Dr.Kelly. Would you be open to talking to me or texting? I really want to talk to someone that has done this. If not, I completely understand. 1 DDFinn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent you a message with my phone number. I'm staying a few extra days in the hotel, so I'll be with you until the morning of July 4th. I emailed Omar, and he apologized for not sending me the diet sooner. He sent me an email of the same diet in the first post except that "potatoes" are removed. Plus, it says Clear Liquids only for 3 days prior to surgery and no eating for 10 hours before my arrival to Tijuana so I can do my pre-op testing as soon as I get in.
