Anyone not go through the 2 week preop diet? My dr's office called and gave me a surgery date of 8/24. I have a visit to prepare me for surgery on 8/18 however no one has mentioned anything to me about a diet of any sort pre surgery. I know the day before I have a "diet" of liquids. anyone else not have to go through a two week diet?

You should call back your surgeons office to verify. Did you get any type of handouts during the consultation. Maybe you just missed that bit of info. I had to attend a class before consultation. Was given the "handbook". Everything is in there. Details of the pre-op to post-op diet. Nothing was mentioned during my consult or any other time. But its in their book they expect me to read. I think I've read it cover to cover 20 times, maybe more as my date is 8/10.

I did not have to go through any pre op diet other than nothing by mouth 12 hours before the surgery. I had my surgery 12 weeks ago at a center of excellence.

No pre-op diet for me either! Every Program is different! If you were supposed to do one - you would have been told! We're lucky!

I was on a 6 month high Protein low carb diet ! Monday 24 hours before surgery I was suppose to have nothing but liquids. However I started on Sunday with 48 hours of liquids and that day was my Birthday. We celebrated the night before. Monday from Midnight on I was not allowed to drink even Water. I was not even allowed to suck on an ACT for the dry mouth. My surgery was at Tuesday 1 pm and for me to go for 13 hours with only my saliva to moisten my dry mouth was very difficult.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
