Both surgeries I've had required this liquid diet.The band was full liquids and RNY clear liquids.From what I was told both times this diet shrinks the liver and makes the intestines easy to work with.The problem is this diet is extremely hard.It's not the diet I would be following post-op.It was my understanding this was necessary to have an easier surgery and recovery.According to this article that doesn't hold true?Why would most doctors require it then?

In my opinion, because they are sadisitic fatty-haters.

My surgeon says they are not only pointles and worthless, as well as cruel, they put the patient on the table in a stressed and poorly nourished condition.  He said bariatric surgeons should expect to find large livers, and to know how to deal with them.

It's not too late to reconsider not only your surgeon, but your surgery.

Cytomax makes a clear protien drink called pure performance that I drank after revision.  It saved my life.   Also sugar free popscicles. 

I bought the freeze pops that are liquid and you put them in the freezer and they saved me.

Hello
On the cytonmax.Where would I get that?I have vitamin shop,Whole foods,Trader Joe"s and GNC.Would any of them carry it?Thanks so much

I get mine at The Vitamin Shoppe.  I want to say its Cytomax though.  They have orange, tropical punch, watermelon.  They do have a little after taste but I could tolerate it better than Isopure
