gretat 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Hi, Eat your last meal!! Just kidding. My Dr. had me do a modified adkins for 2 weeks before the surgery to shrink my liver. I've read that different Dr.s suggest different things. Just stock up on Soups, crystal light or some fruit juice, and continue to be as active as you can before and after the surgery---you'll feel better faster. Good luck and here's to everything going great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msknow 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Why would you think that you're being selfish?? You're going to live and be happy. Yes, it will benefit you, but isn't part of your reasoning that you can have a better quality of life with your family? Won't they all reap the benefits of this surgery, as well? I'm so excited for you!!! Laura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
