My surgery is on Thursday and I am terrified that my liver won't be shrunk enough for the surgery. No judging please, I tried to stick to grilled chicken and eggs but I haven't had as many protein shakes as I should have. Plus I've had whataburger like 3 times. Anyway, I'm just being honest. Has anyone sucked at the preop diet but still had a successful surgery? I still clear liquids only on the 26th and I'm going to try and get as much protein in as I can before then.

How did y'all decide on a Doctor/facility in Mexico

I am going with dr Elias Ortiz from a lighter me. They have great reviews and a Facebook group where you can ask questions and the Drs are part of the group so they can answer questions too sometimes. -

I'm trying to decide which would work better for me, gastric bypass or the sleeve. I'm about 5'3 and 251 pounds. I found a weight loss calculator online that said that based on my height and weight I can expect to weigh 172 lbs after gastric sleeve which to me sounds great because it's a lot better than my current weight but it's not where I want to be. The same calculator says that I could expect to weight 152 with gastric bypass which sounds a lot better but the sleeve is safer so I'm kind of stuck between the two ????
