I am so glad to finally have my date. what about you guys? anyone else has a date for January?

I am scheduled for Jan 20th. I start the liver reducing diet on Jan 6th. Mine is 2 Whey Isolate protein shakes a day and a Lean Cuisine for dinner. SF jello & popsicles as I want.

My sleeve is scheduled for January 27th and I'm gettin nervous!

my surgeon tells me there is no need to do any type of pre op diet, surgery is scheduled for the 27th. does anyone know of the complications of not doing a pre op diet?

Happy New Year to you all from SoCal

I'm scheduled for January 6th at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, Ca, with Dr. Miguel Burch. I'm super nervous but ready... except for the part where I need to do 356 things before Monday :0

Good luck to you all!

I only have to do liquids tge day before my surgeon only requires a pre op diet if you weight 300lbs or more.

Not sure if there are side affects for no pre diet. The purpose of the dpre diet is to make the liver more pliable and smaller. I suppose if the liver gets in the way they would either do the surgery open or stop and reschedule.

I was alright all day til evening.

The pre-op diet is to shrink your liver. They have to lift the liver to get to the stomach under it. The smaller it is the lower the risk of problems. If you are having a laproscopic procedure, it is more important since it has to be moved with tools. Open procedures they can lift it with their hands.

Today was a good day. Protein drink, oatmeal, 1 crabcake and small piece of bread and a small salad

January 2nd !! Tomorrow I'm excited and nervous at the same time
