Newgrandmother...you can do this. You're gonna have to have plenty of dietary restrictions for awhile but it gets easier. Accept the process and don't fight it. One shake at a time......

YES your surgery will be cancelled. The whole purpose of this 2 week liquid diet is to shrink your liver so the surgeon can get to your stomach. This surgery isn't a quick fix, you'll eventually be able to eat again and if you don't start making smart choices NOW, nothing is going to change later. You can do this, I believe in you!
