Indigo1991 1,612 Posted December 27, 2013 Get back on your plan and stay calm! Every plan is different and surgeons have their own reasons why they have you on their plan. My surgeon had me eat right up to surgery - no liquid diet - eating only chicken, fish, yog, milk and practically no carbs and all in tiny portions. The diet is to shrink your liver but it is also to teach you to live on less. liquid diet is really useful as post op that's what you are on in the first few weeks and it is difficult. But please stop beating yourself up. You put your finger on it when you said that the battle is with your mind. And if you have figured that out now, well done! Get back on track and don't look back. Good luck, you know why you need to do this, just keep that front of mind until the op. 1 jewintheridge reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCborn 63 Posted December 28, 2013 I was told that they will just go in and absolutely close you up without doing the Surgery if they caint work around your liver because it's Fatty. Even or the fact that I had to sign a surgical consent given them permission to do an Open Sleeve surgery ( cut you from top to bottom of your abdomen ) if they caint get to your stomach due to a fatty liver. Keeping it Real Wow That convinced me to follow the pre op diet I didn't want the large scar. Or cancel months of hard work. I was shock to see open surgery on the consent!!! yes you r right I heard the same thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indigo1991 1,612 Posted December 28, 2013 Think you will be ok, 15lbs loss shows you're on the right road! Being calm is a great asset when you get sleeved because things will happen, like stalls, and you need to be calm and patient.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
