Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I wasn't, but I have heard of many who have been. I was just told to eat light the day before. Yeah, like I am going to be able to eat that day. Dora in Tennessee Open/Lap RNY 9/20/04 Vanderbilt Hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 No, you aren't the only one. I was on the pre-op diet for 8 months and lost 20lbs. before surgery. I had mine May 10,2004 I have lost another 60 since. But right now I haven't lost any in about a month. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I have heard of folks that have been put a liquid diet 1 - 2 weeks before the surgery. Our surgeon broke my husband's heart for his " last meal " the night before the surgery by telling him to eat no fat and very lightly. He suggested pasta with marinara sauce, I only had a protein bar as my surgery was 3 weeks after my husbands and I wasn't interested in pasta or going out to eat cause I knew the answer. However in the 3 weeks before I went to KFC 3 times cause I hadn't been in years and for some reason decided I had to have it. Go figure. anne > Hey everyone..

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I had to go on a clear liquid diet 2 days prior to my surgery, but nothing else. in Delaware Lap RNY 3/10/04 261/165.5/120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
