Did anyone else not do a full 2 week preop diet?

I was just told I had better not gain any weight before surgery or my surgeon wouldn't do it. I think, If I recall correctly, I lost 4 lbs in the few weeks prior to surgery.

Im still amazed at all the differences in pre op diets .. Im doing whats called phase II diet.. Its 2 Protein Shakes yogurt pudding and Soup broth ... 1/4 cup of cream of wheat for Breakfast ... I know it helps shrink the liver .. My surgeon showed pics .. Very cool ... No more than 1/2 cup per serving per meal ... Hope u r all doing well .. We can do it!!

I got the call Wednesday that I was approved and another call Friday to schedule. My preop stuff is a week away and the surgery a couple days after. Wow this is happening quickly. They told me that it is okay to not do the full 2 weeks of the diet but just to start the next day. Anyone else do this?

What's ur date?

My date is march 31. I'm taking off next week and then the following week is spring break.

My date is also March 31.

Are you ready?

That is fast almost lightening fast. Sending skinny vibes ur way. When we heal up some may we can walk the trails or stone mountain together. Keep me posted how ur doing and I will do the same.

I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 31st of March for 2 weeks. Not looking forward to being hungry and mad Excited for the changes.

I’m not looking forward to the liquid diet at all – too bad they couldn’t give up appetite suppressants.

Don't want to be grumpy to my family before a major surgery....

I just decided to keep very busy during this 2 weeks and I know my family will understand. My husband and son are in to bodybuilding and they have warned me about the first few days. I am determined to stay positive.

I am Monday too! My pre-op was two shakes daily and a high Protein low fat meal. I know it is not nearly as strict as some, but today I was HANGRY! LOL! One day to go! Good luck everybody! See you on the other side!

My pre-op diet was only 3 days. I was at home for one week from work, but was able to log in from home a couple of those days. I felt fine, but would then get very tired. I called it nap attacks. I had a post-op drain for one week and chose to stay home while I had this in place.
