I would do the liquid diet. 3-4 Protein shakes a day, lots of Water. sugar free drinks no caffeine. That should help you lose and help shrink your liver. Hope this helps having my surgery on 27th also dr did not say to lose weight just start liquid diet on the 18th.
Good luck

I was 23 when I had my bypass last August. My highest weight two years ago was 442 (well, highest recorded weight. I have a strong feeling I was heavier than that). I was 387 the day of surgery, and today I weigh 221. I've lost exactly half my weight... according to the records, anyway.

I have same date. Starting my pre-op diet today! So excited. You can do it.

Before surgery I was an emotional eater. Didn't matter what the emotion was, I would eat. Celebrating? Eat! Sad? Eat! I'm just a hair over being 4 months post op and everything is so different now. I focus on the rules of my new way of eating, just as my NUT instructed me to do. I still look at Desserts and think "Yum! I want that!" but have no trouble saying no because I'm either full, or it's not worth wasting the calories on. Seeing and feeling how your body can change so drastically in such a short time also makes it easier to keep making the right choices.

So my surgery is September 28th and today is the first day of my liquid diet. 3 shakes, 2 yogurts,SF Jello and Popsicles. I'm having a really bad day so far, I have the worst headache ever and I want to kill anybody that even looks at me.. Lol Can anybody else relate? Any tips or suggestions to make this better? I need encouragement badly!!! Thanks in advance

I just went to mine. There were about 15 people. The NUT showed us a 30 minute video from surgeons, nutritionist, nurse and pharmacist. Then the NUT went over how to make sure you get your Protein in. The steps of your diet after surgery. She was with us for about 1 1/2 hours, then a nurse came in and discussed what to expect once you get to the hospital till you leave and about your post op visits. Total time was 3 and 1/2 hours. Very educational.
I was surprised about some of the questions people asked, but to each their own. One good thing got quite a few freebies to try, Protein shakes, Vitamins.
I really paid attention, I have waited for this and want to do it right.
Good luck!
