How did they figure out you had an enlarged liver? Curious... My liver enzymes, etc. were all good so I was wondering. I am on the liquid diet now so I wasn't sure how to know what my liver size was to start.Ok, I am breaking my own rules here. I have spent the last two hours researching duodenal switch because I read an article that people with a BMI over 40 have better long term results in terms of keeping their weight off. I am a BMI of 40 right now. I never even asked about this surgery when going through the process. I currently have a lapband and only ever considered conversion to RNY. My surgery is on June 12th. Should I talk to my surgeon? Anybody start with a BMI of 40 or higher with a truly crappy metabolism (RMR 1047) who was able to take 80+ lbs off with RNY? I am at 224 now and would be thrilled if I could get below 130. Need some encouragement that my choice was right. That and somebody to make me stop researching at this point! LOLDay 7 of 30 day liquids.I remember when I was banded I had diarrhea for several days. Dr told me liquids in liquids out. Remember to drink your water and try and stay hydratedIm 6 days in and have 3 weeks of liquid Optifast to go. I feel the same way. is it detox?*revision from band to RNY; risks, complications and outcomes *vitamins and minerals *success stories more than 10 years outI am feeling the same way. I am 6 days into liquid optifast and going insane. I want a piece of grilled chicken or fish so badly. I did break down and hard boiled an egg and ate it. I figured 70 calories wasn't that bad. I will still be under 900 for the day. 3 weeks to go.I am struggling with this liquid diet and I have three more weeks!!Sounds like you are doing great! Very encouraging!wonderful! I have been praying for you this week, glad to hear you are doing well. I'm looking forward to mine on the 12th.You were band to bypass right? How did it go? Mine is june 12th.Im june 12th and on optifast until then too! Let's be surgery buddies. We can do this!!how do you make protein jello?
