So what did you have on the PRE-OP Diet for 2 weeks ???
If your BMI (Body Mass Index) is
30-40 BMI - Pre-Op Diet for 1 week prior to surgery.
41 + BMI - Pre-Op Diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery.
(for higher BMI patients, you may be required to be on diet for longer than 2 weeks).
LIVER-SHRINKING DIET PLAN
1. There are NO CALORIE LIMITATIONS on the LIVER-SHRINKING diet. You may eat/drink as much as you wish of the allowed things to feel satisfied, although we suggest reasonable limits to assist your weight loss.
2. A maximum of 40-50 grams of carbohydrates (carbs) a day.
3. You may have as many high-protein/low carb Protein drinks a day as you wish. No limit!
4. You may add low-carb protein bars up to the max of 40-50 grams of carbs a day. \ 5. You may have any type, brand, and quantity of protein drinks and protein bars that you wish, as long as you read the labels carefully so you are getting a MAX of 40-50 grams of NET carbs a day.
6. Count only the NET CARBS that are on the label, not the “total” carbs. Please eat and drink NOTHING that is not clearly labeled as to net carb content. With some products, the “Net Carbs” are called “Impact Carbs” or “Effective Carbs”.
7. You may have as much water, Crystal Light, herbal or regular teas, or coffee as you wish – but please remember, NO sugar, and NO milk/creamer with high carbs. You must count any carbs here in your daily total of 40-50 grams maximum.
