This liquid diet has been an eye opener, y'all! Writing down everything I "eat" has been interesting, too. Just 8 more days of this and then I'm BANDED!! <<sigh>> I'm glad because this 'all liquid' thing is tough!! No cheating though which amazes me!! :grouphug: Anyhoo---just wanted to say to other people on the liquid diet------ if I can do this, anyone can!! Just hang in there!! You can do it!!

im getting a little nervous. Ive been on the pre-op diet since last thursday and today I went to have my last appointment wiht the surgeon before my surgery and I only lost 4 pounds. I know that the liver shrinking diet isnt for losing weight, but now he wants me to lose 8 pounds by my surgery and i am worried that its not going to happen.

also during my appointment, he couldnt feel my liver. I am wondering about that. Are they supposed to be able to feel livers. I am worried that it is too big and they wont do the operation.

Way to go!! That is the best possible attitude -- you're going to do so well with the band! :) Just wanted to tell you to write down your measurements and take a bunch of before photos if you haven't yet. You will want them later! :eek:

Best wishes,

Catherine

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
