jenngottaloseit 89 Posted June 14, 2014 @ my pre surgery diet started on may the 8th. I do 2 shakes a day and 1 small lean Protein meal and veggies through the day. I go for preop apt on july 9th and I am sure he will want me to be on all liquids for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Day But Today 5 Posted June 15, 2014 I just realized I never put my date on here ... it's on another post somewhere. I'm July 1st with pre-op June 17. I have had this date since late April! It's been a long time coming, but the sitting and waiting with nothing to do but think has not been good for me. Good luck all! Good Luck! I have my pre-op this Wednesday June 18th and surgery July 1st! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoseFlorish 19 Posted June 15, 2014 Nice to meet you all! Im 36, self paying. Have a ten day liquid diet next month.... bought some Torani sugar free syrups to make it go easier. Hope it helps. Bmi is 49. I have gained ten pounds a year pretty much every year as an adult. Time for some drastic changes that I havent been able to do on my own. Looking forward to the follow up after surgery, classes and support group. Self paying means no pre surgery hurdles and counseling which is both good and bad. PrincessM where will you be having your surgery. I am self pay also. Planning on having VSG in july. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoseFlorish 19 Posted June 15, 2014 I'm scheduled for July 29. I'm excited! I'm in California...would love to stay in touch with everyone...wonder if there's a way to create some sort of subgroup? I'll look into it a bit. All the best, Clara I am in California also. My surgery is July 24th. Going to Mexico for mine. You can pm me. 1 bon trin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerMer30 10 Posted June 15, 2014 My doctor has not mentioned anything about a pre-surgery diet. Which is strange to me, seeing that so many of you mention it. Anyone know why some physicians would require a pre-surgey diet and/or some that wouldn't require it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sboulie 90 Posted June 15, 2014 Really? I find that very strange as it's usually to shrink the liver to make surgery easier. Do you need to fast the day before surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LynnRinKY 15 Posted June 15, 2014 Exactly, it is possible to accidentally knick the liver during surgery because it is in the way so the pre-op liquids help reduce the chance of that happening by shrinking it. It is especially important if you've ever been diagnosed with a fatty liver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
