Question about dieting before surgery???????

O also...... My doc does the liver shrinking diet too...but I think it's alot closer to the surgery.

All good advice to follow. Dr Mann/Dr Catania put me on a 3 week liver shrinking diet. It was either 3 or 4 Slim Fast drinks a day. One could be substituted with a slimfast protein bar. I subed a protein shake for one of the slimfast drinks. (less cals and more protein). I also (during my 2nd week) chewed on carrot and celery sticks if I felt that I had the need to eat something. I lost 24 pounds in the 21 days. The Drs were happy with that weight loss.  Be careful you don't get burnt out on protein shakes before surgery.. You'll need them for 2-3 weeks after surgery also. Your doing the right thing with planning ahead. I did and was prepared for everything that followed. Continue to do your homework... it pays off in the end.l Bill
