pRE-OP DIET

[tlexius 11]

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.

Same here! No extensive pre op diet. Just 24 hours all liquids.

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.
