connie3 43 Posted July 3, 2012 So I'm required to lose 10% body fat before surgery. I'm having such a hard time with it! :/ Can some people share how they lost some weight before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellepink77 44 Posted July 3, 2012 My surgeon didn't have a set amount of weight I had to lose but there is a mandatory 1 week Liquid Protein diet. No food 3-6 Protein Shakes a day. It supposed to shrink a fatty liver. I did mine for 3 weeks. The first two weeks I had 2 shakes and a lean protien with veggies for dinner the last week I did 3 shakes a day. I lost 30 pounds. I did have sugar free Popsicles and Jello even though I wasn't supposed to have the jello but I needed to eat something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted July 3, 2012 Can you ask your doctor for help with this. I was fortunate enough that I did not have to loose any weight before suregery. I only had to eat light the day before surgery. I would ask your doctor for guidance or see a nutritionist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
