So I went in nervous cause my blood test showed elevated liver enzymes! I also know I have a fatty liver!!! At 32 years old I am not a drinker at all but as my doctor says.... Anyone who is having bariatric surgery is gonna have a fatty liver! She is not worried about my elevated levels and will not close me up without doing the surgery:) that was my biggest fear!!! So far 1 week I have lost 11 lbs and still have one week of pre op diet until next thurs my surgery day!!!!

That is great news. I'm happy for you - You'll be on the losers bench soon. I'm really glad you posted this because I go for my preop appt on the 19th - I have a fatty liver too and elevated enzymes so I was actually freaking a little that I'm doing all of this and it will be cancelled because of the same thing. Thanks for calming my nerves...a little :) Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
