Pre-op starts today.

[Mr Doo]

Well it's day 1 of the liver shrinking milk diet.
What I've read about the milk diet doesn't seem so bad ( but let's remember why i'm here & on this journey, love of food/lack of will power)
I feel as mentally ready as I can be,already been eating kid size potions for past week in prep for this.
Any tips or advice on the course of the shrinkage diet would be great as I'm not to adventurous in the culinary skills
Good luck anyone starting/on their diet this month & stay strong

Mr. Doo good luck for your posted surgery,dont worry it will be absolutely fine. Along with milk diet if you can take coconut water and some protein soup that will be better and milk should be absolutely fat free.
Pre op liquid diet not only help in shrinking liver but also make up your mind to adopt balance diet regime and also it will help to do behavioral modification .
Success of bariatric surgery is only depend on adoption of balance diet and lifestyle modification such as regular exercises after surgery. Surgery is just a tool
