Who DOESN'T have a pre-op diet?

[byebyebelly 79]

My surgery date is October 11th and I wasn't given a pre-op diet. Feeling a little left out around this joint.

[Georgia 2,908]

I didn't have one. (Thank The Lord!).

Phwew! I was getting a little worried!

Ha! I was sleeved a little over 3 years ago now. Didn't have to so much but one nut visit, Oreos bloodwork and show up. Ha!

I didn't have one- just Clear Liquids the day before.

I'm being sleeved on Halloween and I do have one. But, its very lax. I can have 2 shakes, 1 fruit, 1 yogurt, 4oz of Protein, and unlimited veggies daily for 2 weeks.

Sleeved April 8. Had a 24 hr liquid pre-op diet.

I have to do clear liquids 2 days before surgery - that's it

I do not have one and must say I'm very happy to be left out of that category. I can not imagine the will power some must have, I don't know if I could be that strong. At least not with my stomach today.

I'm scheduled for the 11th too!!

I also don't have a pre op diet, just no eating after midnight the night before... Weird huh!! I thought I'd have to do the whole liquid diet too but they didn't mention anything about it but I am going to try to eat light the week prior to surgery just in case...

I didn't have one, just liquids the day before to ensure the stomach was empty for the procedure. I was told that in a few years, no one will need the pre op diet; apparently it's to shrink organs like the liver & make the surgery easier. According to my surgeon, as they get more experienced & confident, they won't need people to do this. I take it as a good sign; I've obviously got a great surgeon who didn't need the extra help!

Don't think I could've done longer, one day was hideous...!

That's good to know. I don't have one either and it would have been hard for me as well.
