So my dietitian and psychologist finally signed off on me to take the pre surgical classes and post nutrition classes! Woohoo its starting to be sureal. Those are my last appointments to attend in march before meeting with my surgeon.

Any who i found out we are not required to do the 2 week liquid diet prior surgery. Did any one else not have to do that as well? If so, did your drs tell you why?

Idk why but for some reason i was looking foward to doing the pre 2 week liquid diet. Lmao

Mine is not so,much worried about last minute forced weight loss with a liquid diet, he'd rather we have a balanced,low carb diet immediately prior to surgery. Surprised me too, I thought he would want the liver shrunk and the bowels relatively clear of fecal junk. Well you know what they say about assume my friends.

Having read through this board before meeting with the surgeon for the first time last month, the pre-op diet was one of my biggest questions. He said he doesn't require it. After that the nutritionist at the hospital gave me a booklet with all sorts of directions to follow and that document says I have to do the two weeks liquid diet. Fortunately for me, the doctor told me what he says goes when I checked with him afterward. He said the hospital's guide is good for the post-op regimen it details, but his word is final for pre-op.

My surgery is on February 14th. I was not required to do a full liquid diet. It is partial allowing for one lean and green meal per day. My BMI is 49, however, my doctor said simply they've been doing these a long time, and have refined their requirements as they've learned what worked well and what did not.

      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.
