I'm starting my liquid diet today .hope I do ok. It's for 2 weeks [emoji45]

You can do it! It can be really difficult, but it is sort of a precursor to your post-surgery diet, at least for a while. (also depending on what your plan is!)

My pre-op diet was a month-long, 5 protein shakes a day plus a very small amount of protein and up to 1 lb of non-starchy vegetables. I know the pre-op diets can vary drastically depending on your personal plan.

Just hang in there though, you can make it through!

Mine was for 2 weeks to.i had my surgery Feb 4 I got home at 1pm on feb5.

My surgery is in the end of may and i asked my surgeon to give me the pre op liver shrinking diet and he said that it wasnt ness. He said just to stay away from carbs and fats . n thats it...that worried me. I was givin a copy of the liquid died so i will do it anyway . better safe then sorry. Does anyone know how many Lb anyone can loose with this pre op liq diet???

I lost 18. But I gained back 12 post op before I came home so ??‍♀️
Are you having to work that week? I was not prepared for how lethargic I would be on the liquid diet.
