Question???

Was anyone else expecting to have a "diet" before you go back in to have your surgery? I am not suppose to have anything 24 hours before I go in and basically-- that's it ?????? M.Y.

Yeah I thought it was a 2 week thing...some people do have to

I have to do a 10 day liquid diet before surgery and then 1 week after surgery. I start it on Monday after I weigh in at the hospital. Cindy

My dr and nutritionist work very close toghether and she told me yesterday that I wouldnt have to go on a liquid diet. Some Dr.S say weeks, days. I guess it depends on the person as well . She told me the purpose of a liquid diet is to lose weight before surgery basically. And I have lost 20 lbs so maybe when I go on Wednesday she'll tell me not to eat 24 hrs before . Im sure gonna ask thanks for the post.

All I have to do is 2 days of liquid and a bowel prep.

WOW! I've really been dreading that 2 week liquid diet. Maybe I'll get lucky, too. Wohoo! DD

I just started my liquid diet Thursday...its not so bad because I know what Im doing it for so I just have to keep telling myself. Mine is for 2 weeks.

I started my liver shrink diet yesterday, too. Looks like we have the same surgery date... April 5th!

Hey Maritza Since I started with the Weight Wise Clinic in September I have lost a total of 42 pounds! Yayyy me. I have to go in on April 5th for my "final weigh in" before surgery and that weekend I have to eat "light" ... ummm, don't they know that it is Easter??? So that is going to be a struggle. For two weeks after surgery I have a liquid diet ... though my dietian said if it is the consistancy of apple sauce I am good to go ... do you think I could puree a borrito with extra cheese, sour cream and salsa? After my 2 week liquid I can gradually start to add soft solids. All I can say is thank god that I don't have to do this 2 week liquid diet pre op like some ... I would crack! Later girl, Monique

It's the 10th of April ... my last weigh in is April 5!!! So up tp that point no borritos! lol Let me know how it turns out for you - cause I wouldn't want to waste a borrito if it didn't taste good! lol Monique
