Bon Appetit 41 Posted February 18, 2017 I read that some Doctors don't require the pre-op diet for those with BMI less than 35.Just me with surgeon and got my date! March 13th it is! Pre-op class and anesthesiologist meeting March 3rd! No pre-op diet with this surgeon. 1 Sherelle28441 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erivan 2 Posted March 8, 2017 I have a BMI of 40 and wasn't required to do a liquid diet. I only have to do liquids 48 before surgery. I'm scheduled for surgery on 3/13 so this week i'm doing 2 shakes and a sensible dinner. This weekend will be my all liquid diet before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clc9 644 Posted March 8, 2017 My starting BMI was 38. I was asked to lose 10 pounds before surgery, however I wanted to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
