  1. Ok...I've read ( and my surgeon has explained)that the liver gets in the way when doing this type of surgery and they would like it to be as small as possible to make the procedure as easy as possible. The reality is that they don't know what size your liver was prior to surgery and its more of a scare tactic when they say your surgery could be canceled. If they asked a person to lose a certain amount of weight and they don't it could be canceled. But I don't remember any tests that scanned to check the size of my liver throughout the process so they have nothing to compare your pre diet and pre-surgery liver to. Just my 2 cents
  2. Thanks for the feedback guys....the last couple of days have been rough but this too shall pass. #emotional
  3. So, Im 4 days out from surgery and I start my clear liquids Monday, Im currently on the high protein, no care diet. Here's the think, I have been craving pizza....bad! I keep wondering should I or shouldn't I. Part of me says it's the last time i will be able to taste it in perhaps months. The other part of me is beating me up for even considering it. Thoughts....advice?
