Thanks all!
My surgery will be at the Cleveland Clinic.

I belive (don't quote me) that the 2 week liquid diet is for rapid weight loss and to shrink the size of your liver.

So far, so good! I'm going tomorrow for all my pre-op stuff. Surprisingly, I'm getting less nervous and more excited.

I just want it to be over with. I am really nauseated today. I have been on clear liquids since the 11th. I did the bowel prep last night and am getting ready to do the antibiotics in a few minutes. Good luck on your surgery.

Wow a 7 day pre-op liquid diet. What surgery are you having?

I am having RNY and I have to do a 2 day liquid diet pre-op.

Tomorow I have my final pre-op appointment to get ready. I think I am meeting with a nurse practioner to go over all my pre-op stuff and get any Rx I may need to get filled ahead of time for after my surgery. I have several questions writting down to ask.

Hi Leona and Lauren....
My surgery date is Aug 31....
just checking in on how you are both doing/feeling.
My surgeon requires a 7 day liquid pre-op diet. What do you both have to do for pre-op?
