I am on day 12 of a 24 day preop diet of nothing but protein shakes, broth and jello sugar free pudding. I haven't cheated at all, and I am not planning on it, but we all know how that goes. I carry most of my weight in my stomach, so I am really super worried about my liver being to fatty for surgery. But I have lost 10 lbs so far, so thing are going ok. My surgery is on Nov 19th in San Diego with Dr. Horgan with UCSD. Good luck everyone!!!
