please help, I am having open rny on Dec 6th with my pre-op Dec 5th am I suppose to go on a 48 hour liquid diet. thanks vicki

Suck on sf popsickles all day long!! What's what I plan on doing.

Hi Vicki, I guess all Doctors are different and have different programs for their patients to follow. I'm having the lapband on Dec 4th and I had to go on an all liquid diet for the last 3 weeks. Only your Doctor can tell you what program he wants you to follow. Best of luck with your surgery. Dan

I was reading a another blog on the AZ message board about liquid diet before surgery. Some of the people were saying they were going on it 2 weeks before their surgery. Heck if I could do that I wouldn't need the surgery. I am going on a light 3 days before( no meat, fried or resturant food) just grains, fruits and veggies and the day before only liquids and a magnesiem citrate. I have not lost any pre-surgery weight and I see my surgeon next Thurs. Good Luck Erin

I am having surgery Dec 6th the lap band and am on the liquid diet for 10 days....it is terrible!!!!! I am glad to see you don't have to do the full 10 days! Jesica

My surgery is 12/5 and my surgeon's only requirement is nothing to eat or drink after midnight! I thought I'd have to do the bowel cleansing, but he said nope - he's not operating on my bowel! So glad mine is "easy" lol
