essenav 2 Posted August 8, 2016 So my surgery is this coming Wednesday and I'm super excited but also feeling stressed and freaking out. I had planned to do a 2 week pre op diet because I wanted to make sure no complications or anything because My weight right now 236 lbs and my BMI is 45 and higher but because I was waiting to hear from the Drs office on wether I got approved or not I didn't know how long it was going to take so I called a few days ago and talked to the receptionist she said it won't be for a few weeks for them to call me with an appointment date so I had planned to start my 2 weeks. But then a day or so later I received a call from them saying that I got approved and to make an appointment so she said they can get me in Wednesday and I got super excited and said YES! With no hesitation so now that it's set in stone I only have about 3 days left and I'm worried that my liver hasn't shrank and I'm stressed and have anxiety because I don't want my dr to say that he can't do the surgery!! Can someone help me please Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 8, 2016 @@essenav Does your Dr require one? Mine doesn't - only Clear Liquids day before. I'm at a 52 BMI so don't panic. Many Drs don't require a preop diet. You can stay on liquids now and I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
