LadyTMoo 1 Posted August 2, 2013 How long were you on a liquid diet before surgery? My doctor only requires 2 weeks but I have heard that some people were on liquids longer than that. 1 Cheer Mama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daydra 345 Posted August 2, 2013 Mine was one week of not complete liquids. 870 cal/day. 3-4 Protein Shakes during the day and a Healthy Choice or similar tv dinner at night. First 3 days felt like torture, but after that, it wasn't a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheer Mama 166 Posted August 2, 2013 It's all in the shrinking of the liver. For many, the doc also wants them a little bit of a lower weight. I was a last minute rush/ fit into tight schedule. I had less than a week on a mostly liquid diet.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
