Thanks! Just seems like I should be seeing some progress. I guess its nerves too. Hard to believe next week already is surgery.

Hi, I am now on day 5 of the pre-op diet. So far I have done 'ok'. I am supposed to only have 3 shakes and approx. 200 cals of green veggies for 2 weeks. I have slipped up a few times and had tuna &/or non-green veggies with light dressing (nothing major). I've been gaining weight. I had quit smoking about a month ago and put on 10ish lbs (this ALWAYS happens when I quit and is the main reason why I never stuck to it). I'm 5'6 and as a smoker I was 220, start of pre-op I was 230 and this morning I was 231.6. I understand with quitting smoking most people gain and weight does fluctuate. My main concern is my liver not shrinking and the surgery being more risky. Is it possible I could be hovering around the same weight but still getting the benefits of the pre-op diet? Hope that all made sense. Thank you!

Hi, I just started my pre-op today. I am getting banded Oct 14th.
