Pre op liquid diet?

[AudreyDarling 46]

I was reading through my information today and saw that my dr only requires liquid diet the two days before, and just to continue the high Protein low carb up until surgery. I had a friend who had lap

Band and her dr requires 4 weeks liquid diet!! What's the difference and does anyone else's dr only require two day liquids?

My doctor requires 2 week liquid diet for vertical sleeve. Just to shrink my liver. I think it depends on the patients current weight maybe

@@AudreyDarling Many surgeon's plans are different - some vary by patient. Mine is only 1 day Clear Liquids. We are the lucky ones I think!

My doctor required 1 week liquid diet prior to surgery to shrink the liver then 2 weeks liquid diet post surgery

hehe You all are definitely lucky. When I had my lap bad back in 2009, I had to go a strict diet (can't really remember the details anymore) and now I'm on pre-op diet for a revision for 3 weeks, ALL liquid diet... Yeah. Fun fun lol.

I'm having the BPD/DS and my doctor wants me on an 800 calorie diet for 4 weeks before surgery. I don't know if it's liquid or not. I hope not! I do know I have to do a colon prep though. I've had a colonoscopy done last October, so I know it sucks!

During the VSG procedure the liver has to be lifted up and held out of the way so the surgeon's tools can access your stomach.

It's important to shrink the liver prior to all the smallish tool used to lift it will not damage/bruise/tear the liver.

I have a two week high Protein 600-800 calorie diet to shrink the liver, but only one day of clear liquids.

I'm only required to do a 2 day clear liquid diet before surgery date. But have to eliminate all starches 3 weeks prior

Mine is one week 1000 cal high Protein low carb no sugar diet, and 1 day liquid only.

Their practice goes by BMI the more weight you have to lose the longer the pre op diet
