I have a question on this topic,,I'm not scheduled for surgery until mid march.All the way up to the day I was scheduled for surgery I was being told I would have to do a liquid diet for 7-10 days before surgery.However now I'm being told I only have to be on a liquid diet 24 hrs prior to surgery...has anyone ever heard of this?I thought it was kinda weird

I have never heard of that either maybe your liver is not as fatty because is the whole reason for the liquid in the first place but I say call and ask why it’s your life your body ask questions because if you are getting the Gastric Sleeve it is a irreversible procedure [emoji257]

My surgery is next Tuesday. Im so nervous. Im on Day 2 of the liquid diet and it sucks. Did anyone ever cheat? Not saying i am. But i feel like crap and its only the second day. What did you do to stay on task. What happens if you don't follow it?

The length of the liquid diet depends mostly on your BMI the higher the BMI the longer the liquid pre-op diet.

Not always. Different surgeons have different plans. My surgeon was the 24 hour type. He doesn’t give two weeks to anyone unless you’ve been diagnosed with and treated for NASH (aka fatty liver disease).

liquid diet was worse than surgery in my opinion. Was torture.

Don't cheat.

If you're going to cheat, cheat with Protein, and absolutely no carbs. It's the elimination of carbs that shrinks your liver.

Don't cheat.

it gets easier after your will to live is broken and you give up. For me, this happened around day 3-4. LOL:) Laugh or cry. We laugh to survive.

LOL! I must be stronger willed than you or remedial. It took me pretty much until Day 10 to roll over, submit to the rape, and ask for a cigarette. Damn, I've been a whining little bi*ch!

And as time goes on so little changes, does it?

I was on Optifast for 4 weeks presurgery. Had 5 shakes a day and never cheated once. I knew if I didn’t lose weight at this time my surgery would be cancelled. It want worth it to cheat. Besides cheating on diets is what got me into this mess. Good luck.
