Why is it important to have a healthy diet before weight loss surgery?
The major aim is to minimize the size of the liver so that surgery may be performed more easily. Fat and sugar make the liver grow in size. This can make bariatric surgery, which is performed laparoscopically through small incisions in the abdomen, difficult for surgeons. Mr. Ahmed Ahmed talks about a healthy diet plan before weight loss surgery.

Having a healthy diet before weight loss surgery is not only important in terms of causing liver shrinkage, which is beneficial for the operation itself, but also it will prepare you for the changes that are needed after surgery. Hence most bariatric units will insist that a patient sees a dietician well before the surgery so that these good habits are set in motion already from that stage.
