I have a date...but worried.....

My surgeon has me in for a MAY 25th date but if i dont loose 13 more pounds and reduce the liver size i will be cancelled. ANY advise...i hear many have to do liquids to reduce the liver size maybe i should do this.....alll replies welcome. I just cant have this date cancelled i have family flying in to care for me from california, i am NY. I cant have them waste money on tickets and then not have surgery! IM SO STRESSED

I e-mailed Lisa privately, but just wanted to post a request for support on the board. We all have enough stress in our pre-op lives, so we know what it is like. Let's flood Lisa with ideas to help her make her date a reality and send her lots of ! Sharon

I AM ON A SPECIAL DIET TO SHRINK MY LIVER BUT I WASNT TOLD I WONT HAVE THE SURGERY IF IT DOESNT SHRINK. STICK TO YOUR DIET DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND DONT STRESS IT MAKES THINGS WORSE. I AM HAVING SURGERY ON MAY 4TH AND I AM SO EXCITED! I GUESS I GET TO JOIN THE LOSING TEAM. KEEP US POSTED ON HOW YOUR DOING. GOOD LUCK! JAIME

There was a similar post on the main board - can't remember if it was you or someone else... The best suggestion I saw was basically a no-carb diet - lots of tuna, spinach, grilled chicken, etc. 100+ oz of water every day. NO CARBS, no sugars, basically no processed food (other than, maybe cheese). Good luck! I know you can do it!
