  1. Day 5 of Pre-Op

    JackyL replied to carbgrl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    My doctor says the 2 week pre op liquid is necessary. Our livers are fatty and are on top of the stomach. Its squishy and hard to move off the stomach. By putting it in ketosis (starvation) the liver gets hard. Easy to move off the stomach. No bleeding or damage to the liver. EAsy to put band in. After the surgery the 2 weeks is to let the stomach heal. I too am worried about the liquid diet. I was told that the key is finding a Protein shake that you like. I am ordering samples trying to find one. :-) I am hoping to have my surgery in May 2009 Jacky
