These diets are high protein, low carbohydrate and low fat. As you consume fewer carbohydrates your body begins to use glycogen stores from your muscles and liver instead of storing them from new carbohydrates. Over time, the volume of glycogen and water reduces in the liver, and the size of the liver decreases and you lose quite a bit of weight very quickly. At most your pre bariatric surgery diet will last 4 weeks.
Surgeons care about positive and safe outcomes. There is certainly a possibility that the surgeon will not perform the surgery if you do not prepare yourself for the surgery day as required. Large and fattier livers tend to have a different texture than a more typical liver condition. This can become a problem as your surgical team attempts to lift and position your liver, the instruments can actually cut into the liver and cause liver lacerations.
If this happens there is a good chance of bleeding, bile leakage and future infection. This is NOT something you want to experience. Your future self will thank you for it. By rapidly losing weight and shrinking the liver prior to surgery the risk of complications is reduced significantly. It also helps to prepare you for the necessary 4 Phase Diet that is prescribed immediately after surgery. Learn more about the pre bariatric surgery diet bundles here.

After 6 weeks, gradually resume eating a healthy diet. After gastric bypass diet, eating is focused on providing the body with healthy proteins and nutrient rich foods. You will need to avoid eating food that is high in sugar, such as chocolate, cakes, sweets and biscuits as your bypass will affect how you digest sugar and if you eat these foods you may suffer from dumping.
You will also need to take daily vitamin and mineral supplements, as your small intestine will no longer be able to digest all the vitamins and minerals your body needs from your diet. Appreciating the emotional triggers for your eating, also known as head hunger , may help you establish and maintain new eating habits after surgery that listen to your physical body hunger instead of head hunger. Here are a few examples of head hunger and strategies to help you break the emotional associations that lead you to overeat.
