No pre-op diet.......



Recommended Posts

My pre-op diet is only for three days, with nothing after midnight the night before. My guess is that some patients might benefit more from certain pre-op precautions? I want to do everything I can to make this go smoothly so I'll follow his advice to the letter!

My doctor didn't require it. The day before surgery I could eat light with no food after 6 pm and nothing by mouth after midnight.

No pre-op requirement here either. Was told to eat light for 2 days prior to surgery. Of course nothing after midnight the night before. My surgery is Thursday and I tried to do all liquid yesterday and broke down at dinner time and had two slices of ham and cheese and a yogurt. So today I had a shake for Breakfast and brought yogurt and Jello for the rest of the day, I'm going with the eating light plan instead of all liquid since I have no requirements. My friend had the same surgeon and she ate everything she could right up to the night before her surgery and didn't have any issues. Not sure why there is such a difference in requirements by surgeons.

I have been on a preop diet since June 20 with no surgery date yet. Also not dealing with insurance requirements since mine won't pay a dime. I have shake, bar, shake, bar and 3oz of Protein and 1 cup of fresh veggies at dinner. I can have a sf Jello or popsicle. I also have to drink a minimum of 64oz of Water daily.

My pre-op diet was really ... Atkinsesque. High Protein, low carb, but not liquid. I took this as an invitation to eat lots and lots of delicious meats. Steak. chicken. Bacon. But mostly steak. Then, the night before no food after midnight. I lost weight on this meaty diet. From 312 to 294.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
