Hello Sleevers! I am 3 days to surgery and I am in planning mode, getting SUPER excited. I am a little concerned because I have only lost 12 lbs on the pre-op liquid diet and I feel like it should be more. I guess we shall see. I have stalled, any suggestions for my final push. and advice on being prepared after surgery?

As far as losing pre-op as long as you follow the plan that is the most important part.

For afterwards make sure you have things done to make life easier for you, I made sure the house was clean, stocked up on lots of different liquids that were allowed and made sure there were easy dinner options for my family (some I pre cooked some pre made) so I didn't have to torture myself with cooking.

Also chicken broth! Canned sucks home made is the way to go!

Relax! Pre-op is not so much about weight loss, rather preparation and reducing fatty liver, If you are sticking with the plan all will be well. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Good Luck!
