Anyone have just a 2 day pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I have a choice of the 2 week Optifast or 3 day pre-op liquid, but most people choose the liquid, as I am.

Depemds a lot on dr. And previous weightloss. My last solid meal was Breakfast the day prior to surgery then clear fluids until midnight that night. The week before I was on south beach phase one.

But at the beginning of my journey and before scheduling any tests they wants to see my commitment to losing 5%. I did that.

Hw 277

Sw 256

CW 5 days post opt about 250 (surgery 1/19)

My suregon said if you have a good suregon, it's not necessary to do weeks worth of liquid dieting before the surgery to shrink your liver. The skill is what is necessary.

Well, a good surgeon still has to work around the liver and having a smaller liver is always going to make things easier, quicker and ultimately better results for quick recovery. I've been diagnosed with fatty liver in the past, so whether my surgeon requires it or not, I probably will.
