how long is the pre op diet

[trayj99]

how long do you do it for a bypass and what does it involve? do you have to lose a set amount to get the surgry x

Different hospitals have different diets based in god know what. I had a short notice op so only had time for 7 days milk diet which is 3 pnts semi or skimmed milk + 2 muller lite yogurts Other people do low carbs. Your dietician will advise you more, xxx

Its the same pre op diet for any of the surgery's as the aim is to shrink your liver to make it easier for the surgeon to see what he is doing & as they are all done laproscopically it is a necessary evil, lol xx

yes he said it would be key hole, that makes sense now i guess... looks like i need to calm down on my wine intake for a few months then lol x

You are lucky if Mr Khan will do it key hole as Sandwell don't normally fund keyhole at Walsall

It's usually 2 weeks unless they tell you different, Dr Yousef told me I could do either milk or low cal/low carb, I've just finished the latter cause I go in tomorow for my bypass

based on my original wgt of 125kg, i was told i had to lose 6 to 12 kgs, seemed daunting at the time but i did 3weeks when 2 weeks was ample to lose 10kgs, as i found it difficult most times,
