Hi guys, my physician is going to put me on a two-week liquid diet prior to surgery. I've seen some folks on here who only did that diet for a few days. Not complaining. Just wondering about others' doctor's requirements, how much weight you lost pre-op, and if anyone has any guidance for me. Thanks!

I had a 2 week preop diet and lost 16lbs. The first 4 days of detox from caffeine and sugar was hard but day 5 and on was suprising easy! You can do it. I was not 100% accurate with my diet and the doc said my liver looked good so I was happy!

4-week liquid diet here. Seems like every doc has their own protocol.

I did the 2 week liquid diet. It's not that bad, shrinks the liver, and gets you ready for surgery. I was on a 1,200 calorie diet for several months prior to the liquid diet and dropped 51 lbs. before surgery. I gave up caffeine a month prior to surgery and have not missed it yet. The worst part was being sick of Protein shakes, but still having to drink them post op. I'm still drinking one a day now, almost 8 weeks post op to supplement my daily Protein needs.

Good luck to you!

I have to do the two week diet, too. My surgery is scheduled for July 29. I'm thinking that I'm going to work my way up to it by starting to have Protein smoothies and making vegetable juice for breakfasts for the next couple of weeks.

Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
