Hey all!

Thanks for stopping by! The two biggest tips I give to everyone pre-op is to follow your pre-op diet that the surgeon gives you to the T and get out and start walkings today!

I actually started my pre-op diet early. I was to be on it for 3 weeks and a month before the 3 weeks I had began the process of getting used to liquids. I did breakfast every day as an Atkins shake for 2 weeks. Then the next two weeks I did it for both lunch and dinner with like a banana or an Atkins bar for a snack between meals. Then for the final 3 weeks I reduced my dinner down to low carb and low fat. At my pre-op screening the doctor was very happy with how small my liver was. And that is the whole purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver.

Anyway best of luck to you! Keep me up to date with how your doing!
