Anyone Not Have A Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

Am I the oddball sleever with no pre-op diet? My surgery date is May 7 and doc says he wants me healthy and strong for surgery. I'm all for it, but it feels like I'm missing something.

My surgery is next Monday (04/23) and I have yet to be prescribed any kind of liquid diet. I think it just depends on your surgeon.

I only had to do liquids the day before surgery which was not that hard.

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to be good without being "ordered" to. What I really need to do is give up the caffeine. I've slowed down on the soda but I don't feel human until after my morning coffee.< /p>

I had no pre-op diet. I was just told to have a light dinner the night before and stop eating at 22:00.

I didn't have a preop diet either just had to stop eating 12 hours before surgery.

No pre-op diet here either. Just no food after midnight before the surgery. I would recommend trying to not eat a half hour before and after meals. That's the hardest part.

I'm so jealous of all of you!! My surgeon actually is doing the 2 week liquid diet to show it can be done and to get a better understanding of what he's asking his patients to do. Kind of cool :)

Good luck to you all with your surgeries! I hope to get my date next month :P

      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.
