I think you get weighed at hospital. The major point of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver to help male surgery easier. The surgeon has to lift it out of the way and the diet makes it less fatty and pliable. So this is very important not something we can cheat on at all

When I was on the pre surgery liquid diet they told me i could have anything I could suck through a straw. Popsicle are great for pre and post surgery. I liked sugar free popsicles because they could give me something to chew on.

No I don't have a pre-appointment yet and I was approved I found out from my insurance company 3weeks ago not the doctors office and I'm still waiting to here from the doctors office

Call your doctor's office and ask if you need to schedule a pre op appointment or call and ask for one to discuss surgery. I had to call mine because my company was being purchased so called to let knowi had my approval letter and if they did not schedule my sugary by a certain date then I would have to start the whole process over with the new insurance. They got it done. Remember you have tone your own advocate. Speak up and ask the doctor.s office.

I live 4 hour away. My surgery is on the 22nd of Oct. I have to start my diet on the 8th. I go to prep class on the 17th at 9:30
