I start my 2 wk pre op diet tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I have a date of June 20th and my preop diet starts tomorrow. I see a lot are on liquid diets for 2 wks I guess there are a lot of different diets, because I only do liquid diet the day before my surgery. As of right now I can eat eggs, all the meat I want as long as it's not fried or breaded and veggies. I can't have sugars, milk and dressing except for oil and vinegar. So I guess it's up to the surgeon.

It definitely seems to vary per surgeon but also per patient. I did have a liquid diet for 2 weeks pre-op (and 2 weeks post) but in the pre-op stage I could have a very limited amount of Protein and vegetables each day except for the day before surgery which was strictly Clear liquids. Much luck to you!

I am scheduled to have my surgery on June 24th and I was instructed by my doctor, to eat as much Protein rich foods as possible and to start my liquid diet two days prior to surgery. That is it!!!

Every doctor is so different. I am working out twice per day and trying to finish up eating all my veggies and fruits that I purchased last week. I am glad that every doctor is different.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
