@KKW those were the initials I was born with, gave me a jolt when I saw them. Good luck with your healing😝

I am on 3 Premier Protein ready made shakes per day ( 160 cal, 30g Protein, 1g sugar, 5 carbs ) and I have 1 sugar free Jello and 1 sugar free popsicle each day. I can have some vegetables, such as cucumbers, lettuce, etc as well as low sodium broth. I do not have issues with my liver, it was more of a goal my surgeon set for the 2 weeks prior to surgery to be safer. I am just going to continue with the plan and trust the process. less than a week away, so getting excited and anxious... Thank you for your comments and suggestions - I sincerely appreciate it .

If it helps? I had a super easy surgery experience. Zero nausea, minimal pain, no vomiting, perfect recovery. LOVE my sleeve:) I've felt terrific from the day of surgery. Worst part for me was the presurgical diet. Everything else was much easier than I expected.
Figured it couldn't hurt to hear good experience....while you're reading horror stories. LOL:) (and everyone does that, too)

Thank you all ! I did not have problems with a fatty liver so hopefully it will be fine ... I guess it brings me back to my childhood and the punitive nature of doctor visits and the scale. More importantly us that I have been able to follow and stay focused for ten days and not been tempted -which is encouraging !

I did not lose much pre op but I've lost almost 25 lbs since surgery. As long as you are following whatever plan they gave you, they will do the surgery and then after surgery the weight will come off.

If I had to guess, your surgeon is not going to sweat 4 pounds. I think you'll still have the surgery. The real reason for the strict pre-op diet is to shrink your liver to make your surgery safer. So yeah, I truly believe you'll be alright.

I would guess it's hormonal. The amazing thing about GS is it changes the hormonal balance and resets all the signals that have helped our bodies block us from weight loss in the past. You still have those same signals fighting every pound of weight loss pre surgery.
Never forget that your body does not want your weight to drop. The status quo is of upmost importance to your body and its does amazing things to maintain weight or to get it back if you force it off.
Keep your chin up and think positive. After surgery you and your body will get along much better and have goals that are more inline with each other
unless the issue was a serious fatty liver the weight loss pre surgery shouldn't be the deciding factor and you should be ok.
good luck and i hope all goes well.
