Weight-Loss Surgery Diet

Weight-loss surgery doesn’t start with the bariatric procedure. It starts long time before that. About two weeks before the operation, the patients have to start a special diet which stimulates weight loss and shrinks the liver. The diet doesn’t contain any carbohydrates, as they make the liver larger when they are being digested.
Only two portions of food are allowed daily. It is not normal food but protein powder shakes. Patients can’t eat fruit or vegetables at this stage. To replace the hydration, they drink more water.
This helps the doctors to perform the surgery.
