    Default 9 days until surgery

    I am starting to get a little nervous. I have cut down my caffiene intake and eating more soups. My doctor has not put me on a pre-op diet, but afraid my body might go into shock if I don't make changes now. What are some of your opinions about having a pre-op diet or not having one?

    I was told that the point of the preop diet is so your liver shrinks and moves out of the way so it isn't damaged during surgery. other reading I did suggested it was to help lose a bit of weight so your organs have a little extra room to move during surgery. I was SOOOO hungry that week and lost about 7 pounds before surgery... I am not sure if it is necessary or not, but I guess you have to trust your surgeon. My same surgeon put the other patient who was there at the same time a different preop, because she had a lower BMI than I did... so I don't know I hope this helps!

    My pre-op is next week and was told by the nutritionist today to cut back to one meal with protein shakes for the other 2 meals.
