No Pre Op liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

Hi I am having my sleeve tomorrow! !! Lol I am using a very reputable and highly rated surgical team I am just curious, I was never requested to follow a 2 week liquid diet just told to keep my intake light the day before. Did anybody else here experience that?? It seems everyone I read about had to do 2 weeks liquid pre op

I am currently on my pre op diet. I am only required 7 days of 2-3 Protein Shakes and 1 small serving of lean Protein with veggies daily. Im having a sleeve surgery in Tijuana and am self paying. I, too, question my pre op diet plan as most people on this board are required to do a longer liquids only diet. My BMI is 35. I guess I need to trust in my surgeon and hope for the best. Surgery date is 9/2.

Good luck my BMI is 44 and I am having surgery in the states. After some further digging I found a few comments on here saying they also had no liquid diet just an 8 hour fast before surgery like I am I guess. But yes I guess we can only trust our surgeons.

Not having to wait for insurance approval will make it quicker but there are still things to be considered. How busy is the surgeon? You may have to wait a few weeks to get on the schedule. Also, some pre-op testing may still be required like blood work. It totally depends on the surgeon. Good luck to you!

My surgery is Tuesday. Only Monday is liquid diet. Then nothing after midnight. Not too shabby!

      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.
