      When having surgery you have to do it 2 wks before surgery for liver shrinkage.

    I was on a liquid only diet for 3 weeks pre op and used to have either slimfast or Weetabix to go 4 times a day and then oxo for the salts. And had water if I felt hungry.

    every hosp and dietician has a diff version of the pre op diet -  the end result is the same - ie to shrink the liver in readiness for the surgery - my diet was for ten days and as follows:

    rolleyes

    Milk diet - DAILY ALLOWANCE

    2 - 3 pts semi skim milk

    1 - 2 low fat, low sugar yogs

    3 - 4 pieces of fruit

    sugar free jelly (optional)

    water, tea, coffee, diet drinks, squashes, sweeteners - unlimited

    low cal veg soup in moderation

    NO ALCOHOL AND ONLY THE FOODS LISTED ABOVE TO BE CONSUMED
