megnun21 22 Posted September 26, 2016 My op is October 17th so a week today I should start my pre op diet .... The problem is I've had no information at all about the pre op diet and when I ring they tell me not to worry they leave it till the last minute.. I feel it's getting nearer and nearer and I still have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm meant to buy .. Has anyone else had this experience?

aortiz1987 10 Posted September 26, 2016 I'm scheduled for surgery 10/5or6 and was told to start pre op diet 2weeks prior. For me it's 2 Protein shakes and a lean meat for dinner. Nothing else. I've noticed everyone is different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Usually the pre-op diet starts two weeks before surgery. I started slowly phasing into it so it wouldnt be as difficult to go from eating 3-4 meals of food to drinking all liquids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoodle72 61 Posted September 26, 2016 I'm scheduled to have sleeve surgery on 21st October and I got a 3 week Optifast and salad vegetable diet pre-op. The main issue with this diet is low sugar, no fat, high Protein, high Vitamins. The idea is to put our body into ketosis to force us to rid our liver of the fat covering it and this causes the liver to shrink back so that when we have surgery, our stomach is more visible making the surgery easier.

megnun21 22 Posted September 26, 2016 I have an idea what the diet will be I am just worried that no one has got in touch with me ... Not sure whether I'm meant to have an appointment to discuss it or an information pack of some sort ! Times ticking away and I'm Starting to stress x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
