Pre Op Diet

Had my surgery Oct 28. My Dr. said it was a wonderful thing that I lost my first 20 lbs prior to surgery or else he would not have performed the surgery once he saw how much fat that had accumulated on my liver. I started at 303. At surgery I was 280. It was only because of the liquid diet prior that I was still a candidate. I self imposed mine at 4 weeks prior.

I did cheat somewhat at least once a week but kept it to a protein meal later in the day. It was hard but ohhhh how happy I am that I did it.

It seems it is much harder to get to the stomach with a fatty liver.

Good luck.

Congrats on the WL and the banding! -BG

I wasn't aware about the fat around the liver until I started reading at this site. I have my initial meeting with my doctor in a couple weeks. I currently weigh 270 so I'm interested to see what he will say about a pre-op diet.

I'm glad that it worked out for you! Good luck!!
