rho_80 0 Posted June 8, 2013 I have made it through the first step!! I have talked to the dietitian and asked about the pre-op diet. I have read so many people's stories and the one consistent aspect was a 2 week liquid diet...I was told they didn't want me on a liquid diet before surgery. Has anyone else heard of this?

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted June 8, 2013 My doctor has all his patients on either a two week or four week (depending on BMI) very low calorie, high Protein, low carb diet - but it is NOT a liquid diet.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
