Liquid diet vs low-carb diet

[Jachut 487]

My BMi was 35 so I didnt have to do a pre op diet.

However, I did eat better.i had made a choice to change my life and I was not going to begin by going on a weeks long last supper binge!

For what its worth, my BMi is 21 and I've never low carbed - but the point pre op is to shrink your liver and a low carb diet does this by depleting your liver (and your whole body) of glycogen so it has a specific purpose that just eating better wont achieve.

my preop diet was the following... seriously it was on the hand out... egg whites, Protein shake as many as you want no limit, skinless chicken breast no sauces, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. That was it. I was completely sick of it the day before surgery. Now i wish i could have it back because I have 3 more weeks of liquids and i desperately would love to chew something!

Starting bmi is on my ticker.
