rhines10 5 Posted June 4, 2015 Hi I'm New to the forums, but I've read some of the posts and love the support given! I have my date set for June 15th and I started my 2 wk pre-op eating plan today. So far so good! I'm going on a date tonight (dinner & movie) and I plan to stick with it! Even if it's just sipping on broth! Lol! I do wish to find a few good people that share the same date sho we can encourage each other on the life long journey. Please share and let me know what your date is! Thanks!

lex8701 15 Posted June 5, 2015 My date is June 18th! I see everybody on the forum talking about this pre-op diet that I'm not on. My doctor only has me with Clear Liquids the night before. That has me a little worried Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snickysnack78 131 Posted June 5, 2015 Mine is the 22nd and kaiser only has you in a liquid diet 2 days before surgery. Every program is different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian88ss 59 Posted June 5, 2015 Lex, Don't worry some doctor's do pre op diet some don't. The purpose of the 1200 cal liquid preop diet is to decrease the size of your liver for surgery. It makes the liver easier to work around, but don't worry follow your surgeon's rule and you'll be ok. That's infrfomation I've heard numerous times in support group, and specifically from a surgeon talking at our support group. My date is June 18th! I see everybody on the forum talking about this pre-op diet that I'm not on. My doctor only has me with clear liquids the night before. That has me a little worried Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
