Butterflywarrior 241 Posted October 20, 2016 Yes bc the pre op diet doesn't create true ketosis....to do that you need low carb and high fat. I read that at multiple websites but I also asked my barriatric nurse and NUT bc I was worried due to my severe diabetes and I've been in DKA before. They both said this pre op all liquid diet does not create ketosis or at least full on ketosis so don't be concerned. The goal is to empty yr stomach and shrink your liver some Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
