Study Summary

The investigators are studying the use of a two-week very low calorie diet (VLCD) in obese general surgery patients in a randomized single-blinded trial. The investigators hypothesize that the VLCD will positively impact the perceived surgical difficulty, operative time, hospital length of stay and 30-day complications. Additionally, the investigators anticipate reduced perioperative blood glucose levels and a reduced need for perioperative insulin administration.
