chelan 7 Posted May 8, 2014 Why on earth are there no pre op diets? your liver has to shrink and thats how it is done with the diet. no pre op is not good! 1 Christian Zaccone reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SliminDownThick 69 Posted May 8, 2014 Why on earth are there no pre op diets? your liver has to shrink and thats how it is done with the diet. no pre op is not good! Not sure but my doc is one top in Denver. So I'm not worried. He does these all the time and since he has the medical degree I tend to trust them. Lol I work around docs everyday and lean towards listening to them. Mostly. My bmi isn't really high that might be why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian Zaccone 243 Posted May 8, 2014 yes,,,, suggestion.. i would do a preop diet for the liver. you need your fatty liver to decrease to avoid possible complications.. im not sure why no preop diet and i would watch that!!!!! Serioulsly trying to help. Chris 1 SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mentalistfan 189 Posted May 8, 2014 My Dr. only requires certain people to do a Pre-op diet, I don't know if i will be on one or not, and he's at a Center of Excellence and I know several of his patients and they have done great! 1 SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I believe that it depends on the patient. I guess I'm a lucky one. I was absolutely terrified of this diet. I've read and read so much about it that it gave me anxiety. I'm just grateful. Like I said my doc is the same as yours. Service of excellence and no complaints. So I'm hoping for the best. Edited May 8, 2014 by SliminDownThick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

menjaz 35 Posted May 8, 2014 I was not looking forward to my pre op diet, but....it helped me prepare for after the surgery. I'd definitely cut down in the next couple of weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SliminDownThick 69 Posted May 9, 2014 I was not looking forward to my pre op diet, but....it helped me prepare for after the surgery. I'd definitely cut down in the next couple of weeks. Yes absolutely. I've already been doin that. I don't wanna be shocked. I've been trying to sip which sucks. Lol I've bought different types of Protein mixers different brands. I'm hoping one of them I'll like after surgery. Lol working hard mentally and physically to prepare myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
