Thanks

• mrslb5, I was wondering because there are a lot of revision patients I have been reading require 2 week liquid diet pre-op. I guess it depends on the situation of the revision and the patient.

Yes every doctor is a little different as well as the their methods!

I'm strictly liquid diet for 3 weeks... Hasn't been to terribly bad. It's 5 days and I've lost 11 pounds!

My Dr. Only required the day before clear liquid diet.

Well I was given shakes Protein Bars and pudding. But I can also have lean meats and veggies. Even with that I have been struggling. It's been super emotional for me. I want to do good, and I am worried about stress eating. I'm overwhelmed a bit.

Mine 2. With my band in 2009, I had NO pre-op diet at all. Was told to eat a lite dinner the nite before. With my revision (same surgeon), I was told liquids for 24 hrs, and clears past 5 pm the nite before.

Good luck!

I have my preop meeting tomorrow. I hope to get clarity about everything I need to do.

Every Doctors office is different. You have to follow his orders.

I'm trying super hard.

Hi there

Same with my Dr. My revision band to sleeve is scheduled for Oct 6. No pre-op diet for this girl too. Fast starting at 10pm the night before Surgery. Duh! I can do that! Wondered myself this question. Thanks for posting

Yes, it is hard but think of the benefits in the long run. Best wishes

You are so right. Today I have been working in renewing my heart about this. I think I was also doubting my ability to do this, whether I desire this process. I am putting a lot of pressure on myself.
