dixiejuju 15 Posted March 7, 2013 I am on week 5 of my pre-op diet. I was only supposed to be on it for 3 weeks but my surgery got delayed for 2 extra weeks. I have cheated some this week and my surgery is March 12th. I am so scared about making my liver fat again. I've lost 25 lbs total since staring this process. Am I going to be okay if I stick to the diet from now until Tuesday?? What does everyone think?? I'm really worried! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reyes33 18 Posted March 7, 2013 Good luck to you both. Are any of you taking any specific Vitamins with your pre-op diet? I have heard that others take supplements for Hair loss etc. I was told to start taking in the correct amount of Protein but didn't know about the vitamins.

dixiejuju 15 Posted March 8, 2013 I am not taking any Vitamins pre-op but I am going to take Biotin to help with Hair loss post-op in addition to all the other vitamins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
