2 Week Liquid Diet Start

[Shawna0530]

Beginning today I began my pre surgery 2 week liquid diet. Any suggestions?

Shawna, did you get a written diet when you went in for your pre-op tests and labs? You should have gotten one. They're pretty simple but I don't know what is allowed these days because I had surgery so long ago.

You've been here for a little while and I think people have been talking about their diets but if you do a search for "pre-op diet" in the search box above you get a million posts that contain information in detail.

Are you totally psyched!?

The only thing I would say is this: As best as you can, stick to it!!! The pre-surgery diet is as important as the post-surgery diet to shrink your liver and start resetting your system, and make the procedure as safe as possible. I'm sure you'll do great and that surgery date will be here in no time at all!

What saved me was Premier Protein Clear. It is a 15g protein drink that isn't at all like the shakes.

Follow the diet, dont cheat it because the pre op diet is to shrink your liver and give your doc the room he needs to perform surgery safely.
It will be the last time you go hungry for a while.
You can do this

I an 19 years post op. The most important thing I can say to anyone. STAY WITH IT. I lost 140 lbs. had a few slips but it is well worth it in the end to feel so great.

It's quite a challenge and you may feel weak and have a headache, but it's essential in order to shrink your liver prior to surgery. You'll be amazed how much weight you'll lose in two weeks just by sticking to that regimen for a while! Hang in there, it gets better.
