Pre Op Diet

[blcavin 18]

Just wondering if anyone else was told they didn't have to do a Pre op. my surgeon is at a center of excellence and told me I could eat up until midnight the night before surgery,. I just find it odd after seeing everyone doing the Pre op diets

My preop diet was to just lose the weight I needed to. After I made weight I could eat what I wanted until midnight

As I'm sure you have read, there will be answers all over the board for this. My surgeon and hospital were "center of excellence" rated as well, but my Dr is prob one of the most strict ones out there and had me on his 3 weeks liquid diet and a long post op liquid stage as well.

Good luck and hope all goes well.
