Miss Mac 6,262 Posted June 28, 2014 Well, at least now you have some kind of idea why so long. If you have not had liver ultrasound imaging yet, you have it close to surgery. Mine showed an enlarged fatty liver, so it was imperative to reduce it before surgery. When the surgeon is able to move your liver out of the way, it is easier for him to manupulate the surgical tools around your stomach. But even with that, my pre-op liquids were for ten days. Good luck with your surgery. We all have very different weight loss journeys, but we are walkng toward a common goal, and that is good health. Take care.

tfowler 31 Posted June 28, 2014 Dr. Kim is doing my surgery as well, and he put me on a three week liquid diet. My BMI is high compared to others, so I figured I needed to lose more than most pre-surgery. It's hard enough to imagine doing three weeks of only chocolate or vanilla Protein Shakes, so I can't fathom doing eight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
