This is to shrink your liver. You don't want to jeopardize playing around yiur liver. I have 3 to 4 shakes a day pending on the amount of Protein it have. Then if I am still hungry I have some broth and lots of Water.

The pre op diet is worth it. Remember this is to prepare you for surgery. Your surgery date is very near; and as challenging as the pre op is hang in there.

The pre-op diet is just the beginning my friend. I remember when I was a week out after surgery and I went to the gas station to pump gas. You know how they have those advertisements of the nasty gas station food inside? Oh my lord, I would have given my right leg for a gas station cheese burger. i wouldnt normally want something like that but my brain wanted food SO bad! i wanted to CHEW something!!! I promise you, it will get better and much easier! I couldn't have physically eaten that burger anyway...but i will never forget how bad I wanted it! lol

good luck!!!

I'm so thankful my surgeon only requires a two week pre-op diet of sugar free, low carb/high Protein foods. This diet will also shrink your liver.

However he is strict with his post-op diet, as we are required to stay on clear liquid for 10 days then advance to full liquids for 10 days & after that its 10 days of puréed food. I know others sleeved patient who are cleared to start eating soft foods just one week post-op. The diets really seems to very with each surgeon.
