Hello fellow dieters, I have my surgery on the 7th of August, after many years of debating and dieting. I have had my pre-op testing done and have been on a low carb high protein diet. My doctor did not specify that I had to do clear liquids or keep to the two week all liquid that many Dr's say to do. but he told me if I have a fatty liver he will not be able to do the surgery, I think I have gone too far doing only liquids though because I am really tired and fatigued. I have lost 10 pounds in the last week and 4 more days of liquids. I am suffering, but I have done a lot of searching and found that there is a lot of misinformation and older information available that has been proven unnecessary. Like massive bowel prep is no longer needed like in the old days, and only 2-3 days of clear liquids is necessary, as long as you have stuck to your diet and shrunk your liver. I am having hernia repair and bypass, I am 269 pounds and my heaviest weight was 280. I would be happy to be buddies with anyone also having bypass in August, 2014. I am looking for txt buddies as well since I am not always near a computer. If your interested in sharing the experience let me know.
