This is funny try not to laugh to hard. When my Doctor and my dietitian told me to start my diet for some reason I didn't look at my instructions carefully. I saw liquid diet and 11days. I assumed I had to start my liquid diet. Im so glad for this board I seen other people doing 1 meal. I email my dietitian to discover I was doing my diet wrong. Lol

She send me more instructions and wrote 2 shakes and 1 meal a day meat and vegetables only for dinner. She told me to eat I will feel better! I did oh my goodness I feel great! 3 days before surgery I do liquids only.

My advice please read and follow instructions and ask questions don't assume. Best wishes to everyone one!

The pre-op diet varies pretty greatly. I had 9 days and it was totally 100% liquids!

We had 4 weeks diet, 4 shakes plus one meal of no more than 4 oz of lean meat, 1 cup of green - non starchy veggies, 1 tsp of fat per day. Last 2-3 days pre-op ,- just liquids, with last day pre-op - clear liquids only.

Phew! Well, thank goodness that you advocated for yourself. That sounds like a manageable pre-op diet. I was full liquids for 14 days...no meat or veggies for me (I woulda loved that!).

They are all so different! I had no pre-op diet at all except to lose 10 pounds in a month and a half however I wanted.

It's best, if you have to misread something, to have erred on the cautious side! Glad you are feeling better! Prayers for MAGNIFICENT surgery and recovery.

Mine was 14 days of liquid, then another 14 days of liquid post op. Totally horrible. Glad you get food.
