kayluc16 41 Posted September 19, 2015 I'm getting the bypass on Monday. How long was the pre op diet. Im suppose to do a 10 day one and I had a small meal yesterday and now I'm nervous that I won't be able to get it done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mishi 72 Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Mine was a two week liquid diet. The first few days sucked big time and I doubted my ability to keep going but around day 4 or 5 it just got easier. I guess our bodies adjust, our stomachs shrink, and mentally we can count down so we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'd prob check w you surgeon about any special instructions if you went off the diet this close to surgery. Edited September 20, 2015 by mishi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh Bye 63 Posted September 20, 2015 I went from band to bypass and had a two week diet of Protein Shakes, plus we could eat a lean cuisine or weight watchers. It made it doable although I did still cheat just prior to my surgery. I'm 5 weeks post op! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kayluc16 41 Posted September 20, 2015 I'm hoping everything will be fine. I have dropped a few pounds so I'm thinking I should be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tryinagain2day 38 Posted September 20, 2015 Do you mind me asking why the change from sleeve to by-pass? I was sleeved 2 months ago from band so just curiosity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAD HATTER 122 Posted September 22, 2015 I had no pre op diet. My surgeon even had me eat a steak the night before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
