I have my surgery in two weeks. I have not talked to my dr yet. Someone said I should go on a high protien low sugar diet. She said that would firm up my liver. Any advice?

My doc had me on the South Beach Supercharge Diet Phase 1. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I am 2 weeks post op, and they put me on that type of diet. I didn't lose any weight on it, but at least I was able to eat regular food instead of the liquid diet that I noticed a lot of people going on. I would wait and talk to your doctor tho, everyone is different, and he may want you to go on liquids for 2 weeks. Good luck to you!!

I will be having surgery April 16, 2012. I have to do a liquid diet for 10 days....the first 7 days regular liquids (low fat/low sugar) and the last 3 days clear liquids. Being on a diet like this helps to "shrink" the liver in order for the doctor to have more room to work with in doing the lapband. I had to attend a nutrition class a few weeks ago and it explained my pre-op and post-op diet plans. Surely, you will attend a nutrition class or your doctor will talk to you about your diet.

My surgery is on Monday and I am on a PreOp Diet that is low fat, low calories and a minimum of 60 grams of protein a day. It has been hard in that I cheated yesterday but I have been doing okay. There are several individuals who don't do it but please talk with your doctor to see what they require.

I am right behind you on the 3rd. Only had to do two days of clear liquids. Trust me that was hard enough. Good luck to you.
