Before weight loss surgery, most doctors put their patients on a special pre-surgery diet. The average diet will consist of 800 to 1,200 calories each day. The majority of these calories should come from lean proteins and vegetables. Patients will be asked to limit their intake of fat, sugar and carbohydrates.
Two weeks before surgery, many surgeons put their patients on a strict liquid diet. To get ready for surgery, patients will stick to protein shakes and dietary supplements. This will help patients lose weight, reduce the size of their liver, and improve their health before surgery.
