I would do the liquid diet. 3-4 Protein shakes a day, lots of Water. sugar free drinks no caffeine. That should help you lose and help shrink your liver. Hope this helps having my surgery on 27th also dr did not say to lose weight just start liquid diet on the 18th.
Good luck

I just went to mine. There were about 15 people. The NUT showed us a 30 minute video from surgeons, nutritionist, nurse and pharmacist. Then the NUT went over how to make sure you get your Protein in. The steps of your diet after surgery. She was with us for about 1 1/2 hours, then a nurse came in and discussed what to expect once you get to the hospital till you leave and about your post op visits. Total time was 3 and 1/2 hours. Very educational.
I was surprised about some of the questions people asked, but to each their own. One good thing got quite a few freebies to try, Protein shakes, Vitamins.
I really paid attention, I have waited for this and want to do it right.
Good luck!

I am scheduled for the revision 9/27. My surgeon explained at first visit a possibility of having to do 2 surgeries. If she can do in one she will. I am hoping she can as 3 month wait and I believe my company changing insurance at end of year. Hopefully not much scar tissue. Hoping you get it all in one.

I'm having my lap band removed and VSG done on 9/27. Had band done in 2011 and nothing but problems. Had quite a few slips so they had to remove all Fluid for a few months each time. Hoping dr can perform both not too much scar tissue don't want to go through surgery again. I hope all works out for you.
