Hi everyone! I'm just starting the process to get approved for surgery, my insurance requires 6 months of Dr's visits before granting approval.. so my surgery won't be until December, but I love reading everything you all post. The support is awesome. I was wondering if anyone could post their liver shrink diet? I'd like an idea of what it is :-) I'm 30, 5'8" & a terrible 300lbs. :-( I can't wait to look on the outside how I feel on the inside!!!

Hello Crimzon....seems every bariatric center has a different diet to follow pre-op. Some don't have one at all. I was given the direction to replace one meal with a Protein shake a day in order to lose weight before surgery. But I wasn't given anything additional to do the week or two before surgery I was only told NOT to gain weight.

If you started with your bariatric center ask your nutritionist what she/he recommends. That would be your best bet :) Good luck and welcome to the boards!

I received my conversion date for July 23, on 7/3 I meet with the nurse and dietician, then on 7/10 a 1/2 day of pre-op and meet with the nurse again. Getting anxious to know all the pre/post info. Any advice or experiences are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
