yes - not all surgeons require the two-week liquid diet. Consider yourself lucky...

[summerseeker 2,258]

Oh lucky you. Mine was 3 weeks of utter tedium

curious what is your weight and height? Mine said i would have to do the 2-3 week preop diet lol

All surgeons are different, so just follow your surgeon's guidelines.

Oh wow you are not that big in my opinion. I remember being 190lb and i am 5'4 in high school. if i was 190lb now i personally would not be getting surgery. But thats me. Good luck on your surgery.

You’re lucky. Once I get a surgery date my pre op liquid diet is 7 days. I’m so worried about it.

Mine was 10 days puréed until 4 months post op which is this coming Tuesday and then soft for another month so everyone is different just follow what you were told My nutritionist said if your tummy doesn’t like the puréed go back to liquid for a few days try again everyone heals differently

That is not an appropriate post. We are not here to judge other people's decisions to have or not have surgery. OP discussed this with their surgeon and they feel that surgery is the right answer. Keep your opinions on whether people "need" surgery to yourself. We deal with enough judgement in the outside world.

I was told that as well but then 2 weeks before my surgery they said I should start with shakes, small meal is chicken and vegetables lunch, small fruit and shake for dinner. I’m assuming to get used to the amount of calories you will be trying to take in post op. I am on all Clear Liquids on Sunday for surgery on Monday.

I said i would not... I didnt say they should or shouldnt... Dont be such a Karen and calm down... No one is judging anyone...

Everyone’s preop diet is different. Mine was low fat carb sugar for two weeks and two days liquid and that was hard enough. Some people have to do several weeks liquid. I would just count your blessings if I were you.

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 23, 2022. My surgeon told me (when I saw him on Jan 11) to do Keto until two days before my surgery and then it will be liquids.< /p>
