Of course! although you might want to make sure and wait for another person here to confirm it as I am unsure of myself. Better yet, why don't you give a call to the Medifast guys because they can help better...
My Dr told me to lose 15-20 pounds before.
Surgery.
And I lost 15, but gained 5 of it back and he still did the.
Surgery.
I didn't have to do a.
Liquid diet.
Before.
Surgery.
, but had to eat easily digested Medifast food for 2 days before and nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before my.
Surgery.
All Dr.s do it different. Good luck with your visit and your.
Surgery.
!..
I wasn't told to lose any weight prior to.
Surgery.
But I couldn't of gained any, I also wasn"t put on a.
Liquid diet.
Prior to.
Surgery.
But was put on a.
Low carb diet.
For the two weeks prior to.

I didn't have to lose a set amount either but couldn't gain any. My doctor put me on liquid protein shakes 2x a day and one small meal about 3 weeks ago. Now I am on CLEAR LIQUIDS only since Saturday, and my.
Surgery.
Is Wednesday. Every doctor is very different for sure. Good luck with your appt :)..
I had.
Surgery.
Booked in 2 places (Canada and the U.S.).
It's a long story but to make it short each place had different requirements..
The States asked me to lose 10 pounds before the.
Liquid diet.
Was to commence (but I got the feeling this was just a request).
In Canada where I finally did have my.
Surgery.
(the following week).
I just went on the two week.
Liquid diet.
And lost 8 pounds..
The Medifast diet in the States was much less strict than in Canada and there was actual Medifast food allowed..
So I would definately have to say that from my experience it just depends on which plan your team supports...
This will sound crazy,,,but I actually had to gain 8 pounds to qualify. I gained 20,,,figures right. Then was able to lose 10 of that before the.
Surgery.
Don't worry though they give you an eating program to follow and just do your best. I only had the.
Liquid diet.
The day before.
Surgery.
And highly recommend getting down as many fluids as possible the day before. Helps to keep you hydrated and easier to find your veins. Good luck on Thursday!!!..
I HAD TO GO ON A TWO WEEK.
LIQUID DIET.
.IT WAS NO SET AMOUNT TO LOOSE. THIS Medifast diet IS SO THE YOUR LIVER STRINK AND THE.
SURGERY.

I had to do Sugar Busters diet. They told me 10 percent of my weight to lose. I lost about 12 lbs. The doc said it was to shrink my liver. Now I am waiting for a fill. It has been about 5 weeks since.
Surgery.
...
I was just told I had to be below the weight I weighed when I had my first consultation visit at the weight center. So I ended up losing 11 pounds before my.

Liquid diet.
The day before my.
Surgery.
...
HAD NO WEIGHT LOSS REQUIREMENT HERE. I ACTUALLY GAINED LIKE 10LBS. I HAD IT IN MY HEAD THAT I WASN'T GOING TO HAVE THE.
