BADB0Y 26 Posted July 16, 2013 What did your pre op diet consist of if I may ask? Dr. Kuhn is also my surgeon and my day is 8/19/13 So far, through conversation, I've discovered that every doctor's diet is a little different. Mine had me on liquids for one week prior (1-2 weeks depending on BMI). It was pretty much whatever liquid (sugar free of course) up to 48hrs before surgery. Then clear only. That's about it. I also was back on small portions of real food at starting at 2 weeks and added certain things until 8 weeks. At 8 weeks it was whatever I could handle.

I went in to see the doc and he did another swallow test and found that my sleeve was almost swollen shut.... and clogged with mucus. He gave me steroid shot and it was better the next day! I can take normal drinks now!!! 1 BADB0Y reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
