After the liquid diet do you go get weight? Or by the time you finish it's time for surgery day? Just asking cause I live 3 and a half hours from the doctor just want to know what to expect. Thanks in advance darlings.

I think you get weighed at hospital. The major point of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver to help male surgery easier. The surgeon has to lift it out of the way and the diet makes it less fatty and pliable. So this is very important not something we can cheat on at all

When I was on the pre surgery liquid diet they told me i could have anything I could suck through a straw. Popsicle are great for pre and post surgery. I liked sugar free popsicles because they could give me something to chew on.

You don't have a pre-op appointment? I had one four days before my syrgery and I got weighed in then.

No I don't have a pre-appointment yet and I was approved I found out from my insurance company 3weeks ago not the doctors office and I'm still waiting to here from the doctors office

Call your doctor's office and ask if you need to schedule a pre op appointment or call and ask for one to discuss surgery. I had to call mine because my company was being purchased so called to let knowi had my approval letter and if they did not schedule my sugary by a certain date then I would have to start the whole process over with the new insurance. They got it done. Remember you have tone your own advocate. Speak up and ask the doctor.s office.
