    Do all Doctors require two week liquid preop diet?

    I think it also has to do with your liver size because I was around 240 and had to do 4 weeks.

    Do all Doctors require two week liquid preop diet?

    I had to do a 4 week liquid preop diet because my liver was slightly enlarged. The first question I asked after surgery was, "was my liver small after you tortured me for 4 weeks!?" And alas, the surgeon says it was and that I had "beautiful margins." I was pretty proud of myself. It's definitely tough, but manageable and gets better as time goes on.

    Pre surgery diet

    Hey all! I've never posted before but have been reading a bunch and it has been helping me get through this last week, so thanks! I have a question, my surgeon is making me do 4 weeks of the VLCD (very low calorie diet) due to my slightly enlarged liver. I started about one week ago and have felt miserable, seem to be getting slightly used to it. It's tough because with it being 4 weeks, I feel like there's no end in sight! Anyone else have to do this for 4 weeks?
