6 months no preop diet



Recommended Posts

No, they ( My doc n my friend that had this done) said the pre op liquid diet is important to shrink the liver so it doesn't get damaged during the surgery

Does anyone have to only do six months of food journaling with no weight loss requirement?

No, I have to do 6 months of seeing the nutrionist and weigh ins. Which insurance do you have?

I did! Well, I didn't even have to food journal. I just had to go see the dietician every month for 6 months. My surgeon only requires a two week liquid diet before for those with a BMI over 48.

Ok. That makes me feel better. I have actually gained since my initial weigh in. Just don't want that to have a negative affect on insurance.

I actually have too. Not a whole lot or anything, but it was a few pounds.

I'm not real sure what exactly I'm to do he six months before haha. My pcp just rattled off things as she was walking out the door. 1800 cals 3lbs off a month. She said it like it didn't matter much. But I'm going with the packet I was given at my first weight loss appointment. It tells me was I need to drink 2 weeks before what the eat after surgery and how much sugars carbs and Proteins I will be needing to eat.

No required weight loss for surgery, just a six month supervised diet. And my surgeons office documented that by dr appts and nutritionist appts once a month.

That's basically the same for me. But I only have to meet with nutritionist once.

No weight loss required for surgery here, just 2 week Optifast meal Meal Replacement, 2 optifast per day and one low fat, low carb meal to shrink liver a bit. Only 1 appointment with surgeon and nutritionist prior to op.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
