Gah!!!

Got all my labs and results back and met with the doc. I actually gained 5 pounds since my consult (Let's just call it a farewell to all the foods I love and won't have anymore). I also have a fatty liver.

The doc now wants me on a low-carb/no-carb diet with no dairy for the next two weeks, then I'll beon the pre-op liquid diet for two weeks before surgery.

OMG! I was soooooooo not prepared to go low-carb! I knew the liquid diet would be involved, but I thought I would be ok before that. I'm trying really hard not to freak out and I'm going to give myself a few days to gradually taper down my carbs. Wow has this been a wake-up call--the party is really over now!

well the fat party is over now...so let the I'm fine, healthy party begin. Party over here!! The roof...the roof...the roof is on fire...

we don't need no Water let the mother:cursing: burn! Well said mommie! So paisley, here's to a new you!

I also have a fatty liver.

Did the lab results let the doc know that you have a fatty liver?

Hey Girl,

Do you want to be diet buddies? I don't have to start my pre-op diet until 9/10 but I am starting it tomorrow. I am also doing the low carb thing. I know it is going to be hard but we can do this!!

I am in Vancouver, WA. Where in WA do you live?

Gah!!!

I went to the Dr for my blood tests and I had gained! I went and got some Glucerna and started drinking it for Breakfast, better than Mc Donalds. Then I started adding another shake and eating less. I actually lost 5 pound. Of course Doc says EAT VEGGIES, yeah right, and I will but I am afraid, I have fatty liver too. In fact I had to go off my cholesteral meds becaus of it. Anyway, I feel 4 weeks to go, I need to get my liver to shrink a little. I only have to loose 10 pounds but my biggest fear - What if he gets in there and says - nope, liver is a mess, close her up.:sad:

Yes, I am a worry wort, but it is just so close now.

I feel your pain, Daisy and Debbie! My doc only wants a 2 week liquid diet, but he said he wouldn't do the surgery if my liver is too big, so I don't want to take any chances. I thought maybe I would start my low-carb/liquid diet a week early (I am getting banded 9/16). I was on medifast this summer trying to lose the weight and it required 5 protein shakes a day and also allowed low-carb foods and it was haaaaaard. I got the info packet from the hospital today and they only allow 3 protein drinks or other caloric beverages per day during the 2 week pre-op diet. I want this so much, I know I can do it, but I don't think I'll start the liquid phase until I have to. Good luck! Amber
