sooo after seeing my doctor and the nurse.... they both mentioned I really need to start to watch what I eat....

so I lost 10 lbs just by watching a few things.... gained it back in a few days.. what a surprise!....lol

.... I was told my pre-op diet would be liquids (boost) for two weeks.....

now, will two weeks on liquids be enough to shrink down my liver? ....what if I keep loosing and gaining like I just finished doing?....I do hope to loose some weight before my lap band..... but what if? :thumbup:

The big thing about the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver. Normally, you'll lose some weight too, but the main purpose is to shrink your liver. So make sure that what you are drinking has few to no carbs in it. My doc says less than 30 carbs a day (preferably closer to zero carbs a day) once I start the pre-op diet.

After you get the band and are healed, that's when the serious weight loss will start.

My doc didn't require a preop diet of any kind. Just clear liquids the day before surgery.

Same here - my doctor just requires clear liquids the day before surgery.
