BigGirlPantiez 1 Posted June 24, 2006 My Dorctor has me on a clear liquid diet for one week before and one week after surgery. This is all to shrink the liver. He said he had a patient earlier in the week and he almost cancelled her surgery because when he opened her up, her liver was HUGE! He said shrinking it makes it easy to get the band on properly. I did find some Vitamin Water at Walmart yesterday, have not tried it yet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
