Eat Protein first, until you feel full. No carbs, no grains. Sent from my XT1045 using the BariatricPal App

Everyone's preop is different (unless you know someone who has your surgeon).Even that isn't a reliable source as many of the surgeons who require such diets will vary the requirement for different patients. Yes, check with your surgeon's team as only they can tell you what they want. Such diets can vary from only clear liquids to "full" liquids (whatever "full" is) to some compromise plan of liquids for some meals and some form of healthy real food for other meals to no particular requirement at all. My doc's plan, for instance, was for clear liquids (including Jello and the like) the day before surgery. Clear liquids, anything you can see through. Full liquids, all other liquids.

The liver is not on top of the stomach, they are on opposite sides of the body, but if it is a fatty liver, it can be rather large and get in the way of surgery. My surgeon said if it is too large and in the way, it can be too risky to proceed with surgery. The liver can tear easily. Sent from my XT1045 using the BariatricPal App

Your friend is probably afraid that you will change after and not be her fat buddy any more. She needs to change. If she will not support you, you may need to distance yourself. Your health is more important. Sent from my XT1045 using the BariatricPal App
