So excited. Kind of weird they told me no pre op diet was needed. Just a fast the day prior. Anyone else have this? Follow me on IG screen name: michelle_wls

Congrats on getting your date. Mine is May 11th. I think it is normal for them to tell you that no pre op diet is required. It depends on person to person and how comfortable the surgeon feels accessing your stomach. Mine told me to diet only for a week but not to be too harsh on myself. I am however required to do the 1 day fast prior to surgery.

Three week diet here of 2 MR shakes, 100g Protein and 300g veggies allowed daily. Max of 68g carbs a day allowed so been fun with headaches.

Our diets tho are to shrink liver as if it's too big they just close up. One week to go!

Awe no sorry about the headaches, I hear it gets better after the first week. I think I'm going to try to do one to two weeks on my own for that reason. Even though I wasn't told to. I feel safer knowing there won't be a fatty liver in the way. Best of luck to you in your liquid diet!

I am 5 weeks post-op and was shocked when I was told no special diet was needed before surgery - just liquids 24 hours prior and nothing by mouth after midnight. I had no difficulty at all with surgery. The restriction that comes naturally after surgery lends itself to helping you make the right choices with your diet after surgery. Best wishes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
