Are you considering weight loss surgery? If you are about to undergo this potentially life altering experience, most weight loss clinics will recommend going on a liquid diet before the surgery to shrink the liver, reduce risk of complications, and improve your outcome. You also will be recommended to follow some form of a liquid diet after surgery as your body will have to get accustomed to eating solid foods. Don’t forget to take your vitamin supplementation in a chewable form after surgery to make up for any nutritional inadequacies.
