Pre diet

[Suko75 10]

Guys I am being sleeved next week and my dr didn't ask me to do the diet and I am worried since I see many of u on Protein Drinks and so on

My dr just had me do no carbs and low sugar/ high Protein for ten days before.

I would definitely go with your doctors plan. He knows what works for his patients. My doc had me on a 7 day pre-op liquid diet, but only because I was fast-tracked for surgery - 3 weeks from initial visit to being sleeved. I'm sure if time had permitted, I would have been on a 2 week liquid diet. For me, the diet was a waste of time, not that I didn't lose weight, but that if I could have stayed on a diet in the past, I wouldn't have needed the surgery.

From what I understand, the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver to make it easier for the doctor to navigate around it during surgery. Your doc may be very experienced doing this surgery and doesn't feel you need to diet. So go with his plan, or call his office to be sure.

I was put on a two week lover reduction diet. Low cal, low sugar and high Protein. Two shakes in the day and 4 oz of meat and a cup of vegetables for dinner. The doctor has to lift your liver for the surgery and this diet shrinks it to make things simpler for the surgery.
