Improving Compliance with Very Low Energy Diets (VLEDs) Prior to Bariatric Surgery —a Randomised Controlled Trial of Two Formulations

ConclusionsCompliance over 2  weeks was high in both VLEDs with most subjects achieving ketosis. Overall satisfaction was moderately high, although variable. Whilst Formulite™ is a viable alternative to Optifast™, better formulations of VLED that addresses key adverse effects, whilst achieving ketosis, would be of signific ant value.
