I am having my surgery in 2 days and wasn't given a pre-op diet. Just to be on liquids the day before. Is this odd?

My surgeon told me I could forgo the pre-op diet but left it up to me if I wanted to do it. They said it was because I only gained one puns since I started my journey. I decided to do the diet BC I want to be on the safe side and shrink my liver i figure it couldn't hurt.

My pre op diet was normal food until one day before. That's becoming more common these days.

I also had no pre-op diet, just clears the day before as well. My surgeon said it was only important that I not be in a gaining cycle when I went into surgery. I mainly ate low carb and lost 9 lbs in the month before surgery. I'm a week post-op today.

How has your post op been so far?

I'm so close to my day and I'm curious since everyone seems to have such different experiences..

I'm doing pretty good. Gas pains the first couple of days. It was shocking how hard it was to get all my Fluid in! Today I can reach my goal fairly easily. I'm still on clear liquids but can add Protein shakes tomorrow. Aside from the gas pains, I haven't really had any pain. Only took pain meds to sleep the first two night at home. I'm actually at the beach with my whole family for a long ago planned vacation. I'm not going out on the beach during the hottest parts of the day but I can go in the evenings. Of course, I'm not going in the Water etc. Good luck to you!

      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.
