Thanks for all of your advice! I'll stick to what my surgeon says :smile2:

Good luck to all of you!

My doctor only asked me to not eat or drink anything at all 8 hours before the operation.

I am almost there - it will be on Wed, 22nd of Oct.

I'm not sure I want to be "lucky", I really want things to go well! Do you think I should be on more of a pre op diet?:biggrin:

i cant tell you what to do but i know my surgery was scheduled really fast. i wasnt told to be on a preop diet but i offered it up to the coordinator and she said not a problem. For me the jumpstart of losing 13 pounds was great plus the fact im sure it helped shrink my liver which was something i was concerned about. the other thing is i was borderline bmi for outpatient surgery and to have it i needed to be under 50 and with the weightloss in that week i was. if you think you want to be on one, i would just call your doc and ask if it would be beneficial to you and your surgery.. good luck :wub:

My doctor requires me to be on 4 Protein Shakes and one small meal for 4 weeks and then 5 Protein shakes with no food for 6 weeks. I am going insane. I am still in the 4 shakes a day with one meal and I am dreading 5 shakes a day with no food for 6 weeks. Yikes!!!!
