When Should I Start the Pre-Op Diet?
Please see our Pre-Op Diet guide. This will depend on what your body mass index is. The higher your BMI, the longer your pre-op bariatric diet will be.
Start the pre-op diet based on you’re current BMI. (*BMI is in BOLD)
- 30-32 = 2 days clear liquids only
- 33-39 = 1-week pre-op diet including two days of clear liquids
- 40-45 = 2 weeks pre-op diet including two days of clear liquids
- 46-49 = 3 weeks pre-op diet including two days of clear liquids
- 50-59 = 6 weeks of pre-op diet including two days of clear liquid diet
- 60 plus = 8 weeks pre-op diet including two days of clear liquid
