I am scheduled to have a band to sleeve revision on Monday June 10th. Last week, I met with my surgeon. While going over the surgery he told me that I did not need to do a pre-op diet. He went on to say, "Now don't go out and eat three Big Mac's the night before or hold a food funeral but, you also don't need to go on a liquid diet either."

So, I was wondering what other revision patients were told by their doctors. Did you have a pre-op diet? If so, what did it consist of?

It just seems like I should be doing one.

I am post op May 6th and did not have a liquid diet. Since I had the band I did not eat much before anyway but I did indulge in a few favorites the week or two before I must admit. You should eat light the day before so you don't have a whole lot in your belly but you will be fine. I didnt have one for my band either. Best of luck you will do great!

I had a Liquid Protein diet for 5 days pre-op for my revision.

I did a modified phase 2 south beach diet because I am diabetic. If I wasn't I would have to do phase 1. I was a revision 4/30/13. I did liquids 1 week and now on puréed foods. Everyone's nut is different. I would say watch what you eat so it doesn't bite you in the butt.

I had my band out in September, my surgeon will not do a removal and sleeve in one, and will be sleeved on Tuesday (5/21). He is having me do a pre-op for 11 days, to shrink the liver a little more.

I had my conversion done April 26th. Pre-op I only had to do a liquid diet the day before, only to make sure my stomach was empty for surgery. I didn't have to do a pre-op diet for my band either except for the Clear Liquids the day before.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
