i think it might depend on what the doctor wants...dont quote me on that one,but thats what ive gotten from reading other posts..guess its probably good practice for after surgery!!!

HB I'm in Canton too! Where did you have your surgery?

im still in the process of waiting for insurance approval..havent had it YET!!! but im going through the barix clinic in ypsi

My insurance doesn't cover there, but we have a firend whose son does some surgeries there - Dr. Schram.

Mine is not a totally liquid diet. But it does consist of high-protein low calorie foods. It is an 800-calorie diet and the first two days I thought I was going to die! LOL but, now I am handling it just fine and finding that I am having trouble getting the required amount of meals in each day. The doctor's office informed me that it is two-fold. First is to help the post-op adjustment 2nd is most important in that it helps reduce the size of the stomach & liver prior to surgery. If the liver is too large and cannot be moved out of the way with laproscopic equipment, then they must do an abdominal cut which means longer time in the hospital & for recovery. Hope this helps you!

hi tracy, i am a tracy too who is also pre-op. i would love to somehow get a copy of your pre op diet plan. my surgery will be down at henry ford and i have to lose 30-40 lbs before my next consult on may 13th. they don't give you a specific plan to follow. can you please let me know? maybe you could mail me a copy. i would sooooooo appreciate it. thanks tracy kaczor

Mine consists of foods that the Dr office sold to me....was part of their program

ok. well thanks anyways and good luck! tracy k

I was on liquids for two days prior. I think it all just depends on the surgeon.
