Surgery was on 12/14. Feeling really great. Will talk to NUT on Monday. Looking forward to changing up my food. I have not weighed myself yet. Waiting for post op appointment to get that surprise.

I am so excited, tomorrow starts my new journey. Surgery is at 10:30. I have lost 18 pounds on my 2 week liquid diet and I am ready! I feel good!

December 14th.

My date is December 14,2015.

Yes! Kaiser Sunnyside. Had my pre op appointment today and all is set.
Thank you and good luck to you in January.

Pre-op diets vary so much, you won't get a clear answer to your question even from medical professionals regarding your liver, so best to follow your surgeons program.
My advice, do your best not to cheat. I found my 2-week pre-op diet gave me the mental strength to know I can do this.

Bugsy72, Day 6 for me and it has not been easy but I have not let it get hard. So far, I definitely drink a lot of Water. I have tried different Protein powders for variety, I get on the treadmill (not as often as I should), and I savor the low sodium chicken broth that I can have twice a day. When it gets bad (it does) particularly if I stay up later, I drink more Water and head to bed, put on my cpap gear, and before I know it, another day! It has worked (so far). Lastly, I do a lot of researching WLS, especially about why I've got to do this liver reduction diet. My other motivator is that I want to do my part to make this surgery a success...so my surgeon can do his very best work. This diet is VERY important to achieving that goal. Good luck to you! Nothing is impossible for you!

December 14th!!!! I'm nervous, excited, and scared. I started my liquid diet today. This is hard. I feel so hungry! Any suggestion to tell my brain and stomach to shut up??
