I too have my surgery coming up on the 24th. in Connecticut. I want to wish everyone good luck with their surgery and recovery. I look forward to hearing some updates as you all progress.

i hear ya!

I had a really bad headache for the first two days and now it's all better. Yes all docs are different. I go to the military hosp and it is a teaching hosp so 3 different docs, 3 different pre diet. So if I talk to someone in my same clinic but different doc, we will have a different diet. Now talking with my Aunt who had the lapband (different hosp all together) her doc put her on a 2 day liquid diet and then liquid for 14 days post op. I have a fatty liver, you may not. Lucky you! 

It really varies by doctor.  I was originally going with one doctor and he had me just do something the night before and liquid afterwards.   The doctor I am going with said I should do muscle milk lights the week before.  My understanding is that they want your liver to be "fat free" and easy to get around.  It also depends on how much you need to lose how hard it will be (akja a how fatty your liver will be) and need to get around.

It's tough, I'll admit it.   I have a horrible headache (I've had three milks so far today which is only 300 calories).  I think the headache is from alergies though.  I am trying to drink a lot of water to keep full.

This may be a stupid comment but.....I`m confused?My surgeon has never mentioned a pre-op diet.My pre-op appointment is on the 21st but then my surgery is on the 26th so...I dont think they are going to me on one. I wonder why some are put on one and some arent.
