Good Luck on your upcoming sugery!  I had RNY in 2001 and have never, ever regretted it.  Follow Doctor's orders...especially in the first six months.  Important to keep the "pouch" happy and teaching self new skills.

I was a size 26 when I had surgery (5'6" - 287 lbs) and today I am a size 6 and usually weigh around 135. 

Such a blessing.  Sending you best wishes and healing light!

I'm doing the liquid diet as well. Interesting, when I first decided to do the surgery. I always thought that I would cheat the week prior to my surgery to say good bye to all the foods that may make me dump. My Dr. told me the more weight that I loose prior to the surgery the easier the procedure would be for him to perform. Those words made me not want to cheat. I'm hanging in there eventhough I want to cheat.

Good luck

My Doc said same thing. Optifast shrinks the liver makes it easier to do the Surgery.

I am having the Lap Band done.
My Dr puts patients on a liver reduction diet to shrink the liver and make the procedure easier.
I know people who have done the south Beach before their surgery, I guess each Dr is different.
Good luck with your surgery.
I am so ready for mine.

I too am having surgery March 9th!  My doctor didn't put me on any kind of diet other than a liquid diet 2 days prior to surgery.  I look forward to seeing you on the losers bench!

I have to do it for 2 weeks, one week down one to go.
I am getting of the same foods, pudding, jello, protein shakes, applesauce, yougart.
Oh, and oatmeal.
I looked online and the liver reduction diets vary so much in what you are allowed to have.
Some allow protein like lean meat and eggs.
What is yours like?
