Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Dear Gwen, Prior to my Lap BPD/DS, I was instructed to eat a lowfat/low calorie diet for 1 week prior to surgery. They explained that this would reduce the fat in my liver, making the liver smaller and making my surgery easier. I also had to drink a 3 oz. bottle of Fleet's Phospho-Soda solution at 3:00 p.m. the day before surgery. After I drank the Fleet's, I was to drink alot of liquids and keep my diet light and simple the rest of the day. Then I was instructed not to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before. My surgery was 7:00 a.m. the next day. Hope this helps. May your surgery and recovery be uneventful and swift. Good luck. Jane J. 230/197 lbs.
