Like many things this is probably something that varies from program to program. Some doctor's may require that and others may not.

I didn't, but I wasn't supposed to gain either. This is something your surgeon has to decide. The more you weigh, the higher the risk of surgery. Some surgeon's have a maximum weight that they feel comfortable with. Some facilities have a maximum weight for their equipment. I am sure there are many variables that go into your surgeon's decision on whether or not to require weight loss.

      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.
