finediva 979 Posted July 7, 2014 My surgeon wants it to shrink the liver so she can get to the stomach easier. She also wants me to lose 5to 10% of my weight. 11 to 23 pounds. I'm not a sugar addict and the shakes are sweet. I just want to be able to eat eggs or fish once a day. Don't even want carbs just to eat the Protein and still be around 600cals. Thanks for replying.
