Pre op done today and turns out I don't have a pre op diet at all! He said that studies have shown the liquid diets don't really help that much and it's more torture for no reason. He said if he had a 600lb patient maybe he would do it, but I'm in the range of it not being necessary. He says that all Bariatric surgeons in the US will be phasing it out over the next few years probably so good news to those with a 6 month wait! So I only have liquids the night before surgery and 1 bottle of magnesium citrate to clean out the ole bowels til then just keep on doing what I'm doing!

Congratulations !! Quick question, isn't the 6 month diet from the ins? Our ins stipulates that not the surgeon I didn't think.

I'm referring to a liver shrinking diet, not the insurance requirements. I was excepting to have to have one for 2 wks or even 1 wk, but he said I don't need one at all which has made the whole experience really that much easier on me. I only have to switch to a liquid diet the night before and drink 1 bottle of magnesium citrate. That was a lot less painful than my colonoscopy clean out! ????
