Supplementary Materials: Short-Term Preoperative Calorie and Protein Restriction Is Feasible in Healthy Kidney Donors and Morbidly Obese Patients Scheduled for SurgeryFranny Jongbloed, Ron W. F. de Bruin, René A. Klaassen, Piet Beekhof, Harry van Steeg, Frank J. M. F. Dor, Erwin van der Harst, Martijn E. T. Dollé and Jan N. M. IJzermansFigure S1. Flowchart showing patient inclusions and exclusions. Exclusions were based on preset exclusion criteria. Eligible kidney donors were approached at the outpatient clinic at the Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, and eligible morbidly obese patients were approached at the Maasstad Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Additional morbidly obese patients were included after too many dropouts due to logistical reasons. BMI = body mass index. Cross-over = cross-over program at which the surgery takes place outside of the Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam. DM II = diabetes mellitus type II. IC = informed consent.Figure S2. Timeline of the study from the first outpatient clinic visit until the end of the trial. Each patient was approached at the first outpatient clinic appointment, and informed consent was signed a week later. Subsequently, the randomization procedure was performed and pre-study blood samples were taken. The diets were consumed or, for the control group, the dietary diary was kept, for 5 consecutive days. The day after the diet ended, blood samples were taken again, and the trial ended. VAS = Visual Analogue Score.Figure S3. Flowchart of the randomization and follow-up of the inclusions. (A) Thirty kidney donors were equally randomized into each of the three intervention groups. Eight out of 10 kidney donors completed the diet; 1 stopped at day 1 and 1 at day 3. The DER-diet was completed by 4 donors; 3 stopped at day 1, 1 at day 2 and 2 at day 3. One donor did not complete the diet diary; (B) Twelve out of 18 morbidly obese patients completed the diet; 1 stopped at day 1, 3 at day 3, 1
