Ok, I am kind of freaking out after reading everyone's comments about the pre-op diet and liver size. I have not been told any specific diet to follow the two weeks leading up to surgery, just two days before eat light foods, the day before have a light breakfast and then liquid diet until midnight and nothing after. I would be devastated if it got cancelled. My pre-op with surgeon is 11/17 and surgery is 11/22. So close!!

I was told back in May to lose 13 pounds (10% of excess weight). I knew I had 6 months of medical supervised weight loss and I am a procrastinator. I lost 12 by my last appointment, 1-2 # a month. I just keep thinking that I quit drinking, I quit caffeine and cigarettes (mostly) over these 6 months so I am not stressing about the weight loss. It will come with the surgery. Now that it has been approved and scheduled, I have not lost any, but I also haven't gained. I've kind of been eating like it's the day before a diet. Also, for some reason, my surgeon does not require a liquid diet for two weeks. Light food 2 days before surgery, light breakfast day before and then liquid until midnight then nothing. I am super thankful for that. Wonder why the difference?
