Hey Steph,

First off thanks for the friendship invite! Great to always meet new people and to share in this experience together! Good luck on your up coming surgery! 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!
