WOW!!  4 weeks down from "the confirmation call", 1 week to go!!  Sooooooo excited, and a little nervous!!

I am looking forward to seeing if anyone has any input why we would have such different diets.  I was told when I asked why some are so much less restrictive "this is the right diet for our program" Ummmm is it the right diet for me?  I think it is almost kinda mean.  I have no calorie liquids and 3 oz of protien a day.. and 1/4 cups of ice cream a few times a day due to taking Blood Sugar meds.. I do wi**** was consistent.  I have read it will help with my recovery to shrink the liver and to deplete the fatty tissue around the stomach... Does your surgeon have a lot of experience?  Maybe that plays a part. I guess I have to follow really close since I have to loose 16 pounds prior to surgery!

Looking forward to the comments...

I share your date
I am so nervous and excited!
I wish you tons of success!

Hey folks - I'm June 16th also!  Dr. A's paperwork said to start hi protein, low carb diet 1 week pre-op but I'm trying to start phasing it in now.  I'm eating my way thru my freezer which I've always kept stocked with lots of meats.  Since I hear I may not enjoy red meat as much post-op, I'm hitting my grill every night between now and then...

I am two weeks out and from some of the posts on here a lot of people have been starting there liquid diets then, my paperwork says to start the low carb diet two weeks out and liquid diet 24 hours prior to surgery. Am I missing something?
