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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
