Pre surgery diet

[LetTheJourneyBegin 0]

Hey all! I've never posted before but have been reading a bunch and it has been helping me get through this last week, so thanks! I have a question, my surgeon is making me do 4 weeks of the VLCD (very low calorie diet) due to my slightly enlarged liver. I started about one week ago and have felt miserable, seem to be getting slightly used to it. It's tough because with it being 4 weeks, I feel like there's no end in sight! Anyone else have to do this for 4 weeks?

i myself stopped drinking coffee and alcohol and stopped taking any NSAIDs (anti inflammatories) or opiates (loratab) etc that i was given for my sciatica. and my surgery went fine.

i dont really know what calories have to do with your liver but then i'm not a doctor. either way you can do it! hang in there.
