Is your surgeon doing it open instead of laproscopic?  If so, not really any need for the pre-op diet.  

If it would make you feel better, you could cut the carbs to take off some weight before surgery.  My nutritionist has me on 30 grams of carbs  & 70 grams of protien a day.  If you really want to drop some pounds, you could do the liquid diet some of us have had to do.  I don't know what that entails, so you'd have to get it from someone else.

Whatever you decide, good luck!

Thanks everyone.  I do hope everyone has the same experience I have.

 I feel like those of us not prescriped a pre-op diet are in the small minority. The only thing I was told to do was go liquid 24 hours before the surgery, stop alcohol for 2 weeks, and no painkillers/steroids for 10 days.

My surgery is June 21 and I am SO excited to be sleeved. 

Should I do a pre-op diet anyway this week?

 Good for you! Welcome home. Send some of that ease my way LOL

I really appreciate the post.  It helped me to see what I have to look for while I am in the hospital.

Thanks and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
