JBennett21 0 Posted January 16, 2022 You’re lucky. Once I get a surgery date my pre op liquid diet is 7 days. I’m so worried about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huskymama 149 Posted January 16, 2022 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 1 liveaboard15, msleo88, Bari_KS and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my LM-V600 using BariatricPal mobile app 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShoppGirl 5,003 Posted January 22, 2022 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MimiX2 12 Posted February 2, 2022 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> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
