Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Is it zero carbs?

I'm from an hour away from New Orleans

I live in the Dell, Slidell. I consider the surrounding area New Orleans. So are you from the Northshore or the south shore? I grew up on the Westbank.

Hello my surgery is scheduled for June 25th

I visit my surgeon on friday and told him I was worried because I have not lots alot of weight on the pre surgery diet :-( he said it was ok.

I am so excited to start my new live but also am a bit scared. My family doesn't know about my surgery. Im driving myself to the hospital :-(

Who is driving you home? Do you have someone to help? I will pray for you. You are very brave.

Newme13 congrats on your decision!!

I had my surgery in New Iberia. I am headed that way July 1 for my check up.

Hey I live in New Orleans...it's sad to say but everything we do in New Orleans is evolved around food. I cant wait to be able to eat red beans again..

No worries...do you mind if I ask..why does your surgeon recommend zero carbs?

Where can you buy unflavored protein?

Unjury also has it 21g protein zero sugar.

Because it's to help shrink the liver and I should only be eating "good"carbs....if that makes sense?

I finally had my first solid today after surgery on the 11th. Up til then they were few and far between and not solid.

I haven't had a solid yet. I was the same day as you. Are you still on liquids only?

I see lots of you from Louisiana! I'm in Bston Rouge!
