    Very important to follow the pre op diet exactly. It will help to shrink your liver and make your surgery safer.

Did your surgeon put you on a specific preop diet? You may want to start eating higher protein and ditch the carbs now. Less to deal with post op.

I had to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks preop. I understand that not everyone has to do that though.

Good luck!!!

Actually, I had to do the liquid optifast diet for one month before surgery. No clue why I said 2 weeks above.

I was so nervous about going without food for that long. I made it through alright though.

Well, my energy level was a little low. The optifast shakes are formulated to be complete nutrition so they contained everything that I needed.

Will you be on liquids only? If so, for how long?

YES I WILL BE ON JUST LIQUID FOR 14 DAYS. DO YOU HAVE A MULTIVITAMIN THAT YOU RECOMMEND?

I just noticed that you are only half my age. I think that you will do very well especially since you are young

I use and like the opurity sleeve optimized and the opurity calcium citrate. Both are chewable and I like that all ingredients are us sourced. Nothing in them is from China

You can find them at unjury.com
