@@cjd2010 I have no idea. I have the same concerns. I have read about others with the same issue but had successful surgery. However, that does not minimize my concerns. I don't have the answer. But somehow I do feel we are going to be ok.

You are not alone. My surgery is October 15 and have Been on a liquid diet for one week. I haven't lost but 2 pounds but I feel as if I am hungry all the time. Gets worst just before bed. I'm gonna just stick to it and hope everything works out. This pre-op is the WORST, but as I understand it is well worth it in the end. My surgeon did remind me that the purpose of the Liquid Protein diet is to shrink the liver, thus making surgery easier. So maybe the weight loss is only secondary. Right now I don't know what to think. I'm just ready for the next week to go by!

I am scheduled for surgery Oct. 8 and am on a 2 week Optifast diet. Today is only my 4th day and I am so hungry I could eat shoe leather ! I have managed to not to cheat so far!! The good news is I have already lost 4 lbs!! I just keep hoping that post-op will be easier because maybe I won't feel so hungry all the time? Is that true ?

I'm October 15th and I'm new here.
