I've been looking for specific information on the Liver shrinking diet and the Physician's weight loss center liquid diet.:help: Like, what is it, what foods or drinks are used, what ever I need to know, etc. I used the Search and it brought up a list of different threads that gave mention to the two different diets, but nothing in detail. If it's no trouble, I ask that someone please give me the diets or at least a website where I might find the info. I'm at a loss.

Thanks so much!

Compared to some I had a very easy pre-op diet. I was told to eat high protein, and as low of fat as possible. I only had to do it for 2 weeks. My SIL and I were banded together, and she did not follow hers so closely, and he said he could tell a difference. Some others I have heard were on an Optifast diet, I guess it is a liquid shake type of drink. I drank protien shakes, but they are hard to find with low fat. I did more of them while recovering. I mainly stuck to lean meats, and veggies. I don't know if it had anything to do with it or not, but I had a super easy recovery, no gas pain...was a very simple surgery to me.
Good Luck. Wish I could have been more help. Your Dr. should be able to provide you with any diet he finds necessary, some of them base your pre-op diet on your BMI.
I believe there is a thread under the food one that outlines all the stages, not sure if the pre-op is in there or not.
