pondqueen46 13 Posted March 25, 2013 It is interesting how each person is different with the preop diet. I did not have to do one. I am starting to think it prepares you because I am 5 days postop and I am having a hard time with liquids and am starting to get hungy. Good luck to you!

soanl1412 71 Posted March 25, 2013 My doc puts his patients on it to shrink the size of your liver pre op so the surgery is easier and to promote weight loss before the band. It will be interesting that's for sure lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be interesting that's for sure lol Yes that is what I have heard also to shrink the liver /. Soften it so this helps me so much to stick to the dr orders in fear that my liver won't be what it is supposed to be an the surgery delayed. I have learned these past week my mind has played a big big BIG part of my weight issue. 1 soanl1412 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
