My surgeon doesn't do liquid diets. I can eat up until 12am day of surgery anyone else ??

I asked him why & he's been doing bariatric surgery since the 90's he says he doesn't see any significant physical reason he thinks alot of surgeons do it for the mental aspect because some pt's go insane with food funerals he had a girl gain 30lbs obsessing about what she' won't be able to eat

I thought they did it to shrink your liver ? Since it is right by your stomach. I haven't been told about a liquid diet either I go in to see him one week before but he hasn't said anything about a preop diet besides to eat healthier

I asked him I said what about my liver ? he said he don't see it making a significant difference again he's been doing thee surgeries since the 90's maybe that's why

I always thought you could not eat or drink before surgery because you could be sick under anesthesia.

Operating on your stomach would seem to be a time when you would not want food to be in the operation

Yep he said some people do really unhealthy things and will do it right before surgery.

I plan on that before my liquid diet starts!! Once the liquid begins that's it no more fooling around.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
