  1.    Sgknoche reacted to a post in a topic: 2 weeks post-op--very little restriction
  2. Question-has anyone not been given the 2 week pre op diet and only given 4 to 7 days that is a lower BMI? My surgery is Tuesday afternoon and I start on all liquids tomorrow. The nurse told me since I am at a lower weight that I didn't need to do the entire 2 weeks because it had to do with the size of my liver. I tried to start yesterday and I have no control. Has anyone HONESTLY not followed the pre-op diet?
  3. First post. I am one week out and starting the protein shakes tomorrow. A life of fighting the ups and downs will hopefully be replaced with healthy portions and choices soon. I am scared because I have a 2 and to 6 year old....so of course this increases my anxiety. I hope by having the best surgeon in Dr. Hoehn that I am in great hands. Any words of wisdom from lower bmi (36.5) weight loss? Also on how toto speed the recovery process?
