How many days did you do you pre-op diet, what kind of diet was and how big were you at the time?

[suzthebrit 146]

I did 3 days of Clear Liquids. My BMI was 35.6 so was told only needed 3 days.

14 days. High Protein, low carb with little attention to the fats. The surgeon said that would be the only time they would say not to worry about the fats! I weighed 242 at the time with a BMI of about 48. I had my surgery on 11/1.

I did do one day of clear liquids only.

I was on clear liquid for 1 week. and no limitation in calories. but I only had Protein Shakes and Water and chicken broth.

and lost a bit more then 8 lbs for that week.

14 days pre-op Liquid Protein diet, so far this has been the worst part. I was sleeved on Tuesday and have not had any problems. I was at 240 when I started the liquid phase and lost 14 pounds. Each doctor is different with the pre-op and post-op diet phases. Good luck to you!

14 days preop for me. I weighed 294.4 and lost 15 pounds those two weeks. So, I was 279 on my surgery date. HARDEST two weeks of my life!!

Just the day before clear liquid & Jello thing. I was 292 lb at bmi around 42, but my doc doesn't do pre-op diets for anyone, even his heaviest patients.

wow! My Dr said he wanted my liver to shrink I thought it was to make the surgery easier since they have to work in that area. How was your healing?

Only clear liquids the day before surgery. I was 316. I don't know what he does with everyone else I never asked. My liver was/is ideal size and "texture". My dr said I was in his top 5 of easiest surgeries he's ever done. I was/am over weight but never had any health issues from my weight
