Hi! I'm having my band on the 21st also! I'm so nervous but excited. I'm on the pre-op diet, but they didn't tell me only liquids for 5 days prior. I have the high protein diet, you know, shake breakfast, shake lunch, and then small meal for supper. I hope I have it totally correct. Boy am I nervous about having my liver shrunk enough. any thoughts?

Ok, I'm getting my band on Dec 21...4 days before Christmas! I just found out on the 7th that I needed to start the pre-op diet that day to shrink my liver. I'm following it as closely as I can but am worried that two weeks isn't enough time to shrink my liver for surgery. Anyone with suggestions? I'm getting nervous and scared, but I know it's worth it. Thanks for any moral support!
