Is this for bariatric surgery?

I suggest you discuss it with your doctor.

If this is for bariatric surgery you will want to shrink you liver by avoiding carbs...most dietitians will require that you eat less than 50 carbs a day. Make sure you eat lots of lean protein. Keep your calories less than 1500 and try to exercise several times a week. I used the Atkins protein shakes and frozen meals while I was getting ready for surgery. Eat mostly veggies and meat...most fruit is high in carbs due to the natural sugars.

When I was going through the process to have a gastric sleeve I had to meet with a dietitian each month for 6 months. She was able to provide really good information and helped keep me accountable.

Good luck!

Your dr should have given you your pre-op guidelines. Everyone is different.

8 days later and the OP still hasn't given pertinent details such as the type of surgery or the timeline.
