how long for liquid diet pre op?

Hey everyone, I know every doctor is different, but I was wondering if some of you would tell me how long you had to be on a liquid diet before RnY? Just curious, thanks for any replies!

My surg is 1/29 and I am on a two week liq diet that allows only protein shakes between 3-5 a day, water, and bariatric vitamins.  It has been really hard for me and I have cried several times.  But Iam getting through it.

I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to my surgery.  I was allowed: a minimum of 5 Carnation Instant Breakfast (No sugar added kind) shakes a day.. made with extra protein powder chicken/beef/veggie/onion broth SF popsicles SF Jell-o Vitamins and calcuim supplements That was it.  The first 4 days are the hardest.  After that.. it got easier.  I didn't cheat at ALL.. and my surgeon said I had the most perfect, tight, compact liver he has saw in a long time! Funny thing.. now that I'm at 8 months out, I sometimes find myself with a weird craving for plain' ole broth!  LOL

None, zero, nada, zilch. No liquid diet!! I love my surgeon!!

Just the day before surgery for me.  I understand he does make people who gain weight between the consultation and the pre-op class do a liquid diet. 

I was on Optifast for 2 weeks prior to surgery.  Went through the whole Christmas season with it.  Had my surgery on 12/26.

I don't know if what I am doing is a good idea or not.  My surgeon said 2 weeks prior to surgery They do the liquid . I am getting my rny done with a lap scope. I asked him what bout if i start getting used to liquids now way ahead of time he said it be fine i can use stuff like instant carnation or glucerna maybe. . I should be getting my surgery in april/may. My liver is enlarged from what I heard. . I am starting to replace two meals a day now with instant carnation just to get used to it. . he had no problem with it might help me lose more weight and lower my bmi more prior  to surgery . Its just I know me i can be "hard at times to get used to things" so if figured to start early. This way come april/may when they put me on the two weeks of the full stage of liquids i will be used to it and maybe by then the liver will really be shrunk. 

I've not had my surgrey yet but I have to go on a two week liquid diet before and I'm only allowed: **4 1/2 cans of High Protein Slim fast or **5 1/2  packs of "Carb Conscious" Carnation Instand Breaskfast Drink mixed with FF or 1% milk ****water ****crystal light ****decaf tea ****SF jello ****SF popsicles the calories of 800 in full liquids That's it!!!!!!!!!!! I have deceiced with I'm going to do Slim fast or Carnation.   Tina

I have to do all Optifast for 4 weeks before surgery!  It is 5 shakes per day plus one yucky (I think) bar.
