Is there a liquid diet pre RNY? My surgery is coming up and I was just wondering! Thanks!

Its surgeons preference... you will have to check with yours :-) some require 2 weeks liquid pre-op, some 1 week, some 1 day, some nothing....

My doctor only required 1 day liquid diet & it SUCKED! This was the worst part, the surgery was a breeze! My head was booming! Buy some sleep aid and headache meds to make it through! Of course, ask your doctor what you can take to help! Good luck~ Holli
