Or the pre op protein diet did anyone actually lose weight or is it just to shrink the liver?

Starting my protein diet today! Can someone explain to me is this for pre surgery weight loss or just to prep your body? How long is everyone staying on their pre diet for???

New to forum! Going to my first seminar June 4th! I live in illinois and have Illinois Medicaid. My husbands insurance won't kick in for another year!! My BMI is at 43. I found a place in Herrin Illinois that accepts Medicaid so I'm hoping what they told me is true and there isn't a 2 year waiting list!! They said it takes about a month to get in to see the dr. and around 8 weeks to schedule surgery. Does anyone else have any experience or guidance for me???
