Kaiser pre-op diet?

Hi everyone! This may be surgeon-specific, but can anyone tell me what the Kaiser pre-op diet is like? I've heard people throw around "2 week liquid diet" and I just want to be prepared for preparation. Haha. I am in week 9 of my classes so I assume we'll be covering this soon, but no idea. HELP! I'm in Fontana and hope to go to Crown in Murrieta.

I am Kaiser and I had to do a 2 week liquid diet. But I've heard some people did and some people didn't.

 I just did liquid the day before. I think all Dr are different. I had Dr Fedorka through St B. Not sure Dr Suh's procedure. BThey don't go over the prep diet. Did you put in for Dr Fedorka? He is awesome and my weight time for surgery was really quick. 

It depends on the surgeon you get, Kaiser contracts their surgery's out. I have to only do a liquid diet the day before. Good Luck to you!

I had my surgery 3 years ago, so things may have changed.
They did not have a pre-op diet.  They did make you lose a percentage of body weight before they would continue you through the process.

Anywhere from 10-20% weight loss was expected.  The surgeon would tell you during your first meeting with him. 
Then the day of the surgery they would weigh you in.  The nurse that checked me in the morning of my surgery was very specific, he said that I had better be below my weight set by the surgeon, or they wouldn't be doing the surgery.

This was Kaiser in Richmond CA.

Thanks for all the info guys. I did apply for Dr. Fedorka but his max BMI is 50 and mine's like 52 or something. Booo!
