PRE-SURGERY FASTING???

OK SO I'VE BEEN READING AND FOR THE GASTRIC SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO DO SOME SORT OF FASTING. WHAT DOES THAT INCLUDE AND FOR HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO DO IT? I'M NOT THERE YET BUT IT ALRDY SOUNDS LIKE NO FUN.

With Dr Loggins its kind of on an individual basis. If you are able to lose the 10 % weight prior to surgery you will probably just be put on a 48 hour fluid diet.Some have had to do the 2 week liquids whi*****ludes protein shakes if I am correct if not please let me know. Good luck with your journey.

ditto what Kathy said..........2 days pre-op is bad enough......I admire those that have to do the 2 weeks pre-op!   YIKES!!! 

Yup, what they said, believe me, dieting for your 10% weight loss is alot easier, Not that I made my goal, but I would never be able to  do 2 weeks of liquid.

THANKS GUYS! GEESH I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO WORK HARDER! YOU GUYS ARE SOO AWESOME!

You guys are SO lucky. The surgeons in Bangor require healthy eating prior to surgery, with weight loss- though there's no required #.
We do 2 weeks of liquid high protein prior to and after surgery. Our consists of protein drinks, strained health request cream soups, yogurt, SF/FF puddings, popsicles, water.
