No pre-op diet... anyone else??



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for July 17th. My Dr does not believe the pre-op liquid diets “do anything”. Anyone else have this? Seems most people in here do the liquid diet before surgery too. Curious if I should do something on my own to get my head in the game but part of me thinks I should just be business as usual.

@Dee_Rose

my doc told me NO to pre-op liquid diet. Wish i did do liquids pre-op, would have given me a leg up on lbs before surgery. I vote, " get your head in the game" and start eating better immediately. Couple of weeks before WLS - do liquids only.

good luck

I'm not a fan of keto...but I would cut carbs for two weeks before surgery to shrink the liver.

i also had no pre op diet beyond the 48 hours before surgery and that was clear liquid.

I did a pre op diet to shed some weight before the surgery. The only liquid only diet I had to do was 72hrs prior to the surgery.

I only had 24 hrs clear liquid.

I'm honestly very grateful. I had my food funerals. I got some cravings out of my system. I don't at all think it has harmed my post surgical success.
