CONGRATS!!!! good luck with your new future!! My pre op diet starts today..... ( sept 15th rny)
Topic: RE: worried about liquid diet
for my RNY I dont have to do the liquid diet pre op ...... I am stating my high protein VERY low carb pre op diet today ( surgery on the 15th) --- I have heard others talk about being on a liquid diet but my dr doesnt require that pre op ..... I suppose it is a personal prefrence of the dr doing the surgery ...
I would suggest if you are going to follow the doctors advice then maybe try finding it cheaper online....... if the nurse gave you an alternative to the optifast then he cant really say you have to buy it there i would think....
Mind you most of this is my opinion, but it is what i would suggest ...
just my 2 cents worth

Topic: RE: Stupid Hurricane Go Away
Thanks for the input. I am getting very nervous about the surgery and is always good to hear about good experiences with the doctor who will be operating on you!
Topic: RE: worried about liquid diet
It depends on your doctors preference. My surgery is scheduled for the 4th and I was just told to start on the liquid diet on the 29th. I see that some people have to stay on it even longer, but again, it comes down to your doctors preference. My doctor recommends Isopure as meal replacements and so far so good. You may want to talk to the nurse about other alternatives to Optifast. There are plenty out there.
Topic: RE: 36 hrs to surgery w/ stomach virus
They may want to take care of that before surgery. Could you call the hosp were your surgery will take place and ask? They may have a way to get in touch with your doctor.
