My RNY is scheduled for June 19th and my doctor isn't having me do a pre-op diet. Anyone else not have to do a pre-op diet?

I didn't have to do a pre-op diet just liquids the day before surgery!

Not all surgeons require them. Many, in fact, do not. Mine didn't. As the other poster said, just liquids for 24 hours before surgery.

Mine only requires them for those over a certain BMI (like me haha). Though even if you don't have to go the super extreme route, losing a few pounds before surgery can only help! Something about shrinking your liver. :)

I didn't have to do a pre-op diet. Only clear liquids the day prior to surgery, and nothing to eat/drink after midnight.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery.

My doctor also does not require a pre-op diet.

I did not have one either. No requirements for weight loss before or anything like that. My doctor just told me to eat sensible meals until surgery. The night before I was to eat regularly up until around 5 or 6 and then liquids only after that until midnight and then nothing after midnight.
