charley27 164 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) I wasn't told to go on a preop diet... In fact I've been having a good funeral... All week. Surgery is June 27. Anyone else not on a liquid diet?? I'm sort of concerned that I don't have to... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited June 17, 2016 by charley27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 17, 2016 My liquid diet is only the day before. You may want to double check with your Team though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Readyfreddy 0 Posted June 17, 2016 My doc doesn't do a liquid diet pre-op anymore either. Not sure why other than hearing from the dietician that it didn't seem to make a lot of difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted June 17, 2016 A lot of surgeons are moving away from it. It doesn't seem to make logical sense to starve someone and weaken them, then operate on them. It seems very counter intuitive. People with a high BMI that likely have large livers, are the exception to this because the liver reductions is needed.

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted June 17, 2016 I have heard of it. Some docs just go with the standard "nothing to eat or drink after midnight". Mine was ten days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
