Prior to weight loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve), it is essential that you follow a strict calorie controlled eating plan for at least 2 weeks. This will reduce the size of your liver, a large organ lying over the stomach, and help to reduce the risk of complications associated with the surgery.
For the eating plan to be successful, it is important that you stick to it for the length of time discussed with your surgeon and dietitian. This can range from 2 to 4 weeks. There may be a temptation to have a special/larger meal before your surgery, however, if you do this, it will reverse the hard work you have already put in.
There are 4 eating plan options which you can discuss with your dietitian to see what would work best for you.
You will be provided with written information to follow and will be able to ask your dietitian questions throughout.
Please remember to weigh yourself before and after you start the liver shrinkage diet and give this information to your dietitian.
