Most of us are asked to do a Pre-Op diet ahead of our weight loss surgery.
The reason for the Pre-Op diet is to shrink your liver and make it easier and safer for the surgeon to get to your stomach.
The Pre-Op diet, otherwise known as a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), usually consists of meal replacement shakes taken throughout the day, followed by an evening meal of simple vegetables and protein.
If your surgery is booked and you need to prep for your Pre-Op diet, look no further!
Multi 2.0 and Whey Protein are designed to work together in perfect harmony to meet your daily protein, vitamin and mineral needs while maintaining a very low calorie diet. If you are new to all this, here is why the vitamins matter and here is how much protein you actually need.
Each shake contains approx 150 calories and you can switch up the flavour by adding fruit, berries, cocoa or coffee so it never gets boring!
This is the ultimate addition to your Pre-Op or Very Low Calorie Diet meal plan!
Once the date is in the diary
There is more to prepare for than the diet. Start with what to pack for the hospital, then read the things your surgeon may not tell you. For the other side of surgery, new to the losers bench clears up what you can and cannot eat, and post surgery portions covers how much.
If you are weighing up surgery against the injections, we compared the two in weight loss surgery and weight loss injections.
*Pre-Op or VLCDs should always be carried out under the supervision of a dietitian.
