my pre-diet consisted of 2 week full liquids. This was creamy soups, juices, sugar-free pudding, sugar-free jello, etc. Your liver needs to shrink because part of your liver sits ontop of your stomach. If you have a fatty liver it can make it hard for the surgeon to get to the stomach. Its just a way to help make your surgery easier. The pre-diet was the hardest part for me, i felt like i was starving! But, it was worth it, my surgeon said that he wished all of his surgeries went as easy as mine did since he could get in and place the band without anything in the way.
