Two week liquid diet?

[zedqueen 27]

Ok. So far I've been reading about ppl going on a two week liquid diet prior to their surgery date as a requirement. Now is this for everybody? Or is this just for this who have some trouble with their liver? I live in Indiana and I go to st. Vincent bariatric center in Carmel. I've never heard of that. Never gOt those instructions. Never even heard of it even at my support groups. Now my surgery is on Tuesday January 13. Only two days away. And I have a specific diet to follow on Monday. I had to lose at least 30lbs in order to be considered for surgery which I've done. So hearing about these two week liquid diets has me freaked out. I feel a bit clueless cause they never told me. Anybody not have to do that ?

It depends on the surgeon. If you are concerned give your surgeons nurse a call.

zedqueen, I didn't have a 2 week special diet either. I freaked out a little also when I read on here that soo many had to do a two week liquid diet. I actually ate ate the cheesecake factory the night before surgery! I had never ate there or had cheesecake from there so my brother gave me a gift card for Christmas to eat there for my "last dinner". I ate very reasonable for dinner but splurged big on dessert Surgery the next morning just fine! Good luck this Tuesday :-)

I didn't have a pre-op diet. Some docs require it, some don't.
