October 12th for me!!!

Hi everyone Now since I got a date I guess I have a place to go.. LOL My date is October 12th I am soo excited. I cant wait. I am going on the diet the 28th of Sept. Anyone know what this consists of (Dr. Carl Lowe is my doc).. THanks!!!!!!!!!!!1

My two week pre diet is liquid only, no caffeine, no carbonation, no sugar. IE: all water and protein drinks. (to shrink the liver, I'm told). Not sure if this will be the same for you. Heather

Hi Bbw 4life! My name is Marie and it looks like we are twins, we are having surgery the same day! I am looking forward to it. I don't know what the diet consists of, but why don't you ask your nutritionist, I am sure that she/he will either tell you or give you a menu of what you can have or can not have. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that we can keep in touch to find out how each of us is doing!

Hi, I'm having surgery the same date as you! I'm pretty nervous are you? I don't have any preop diet but my surgeon doesn't let you have sugar after the first time you see her and you can't gain any weight. I've been struggeling with that but the last couple of weeks I've been doing well. Since it's getting so close I'm being very careful. Well good luck!

Hi , I also have an October 12th surgury date. I am excited and scared all at the same time. From what I understand about the pre op diet it is to get your liver use to producing smaller amounts of bile for digestion if I understand it right. I also have not been given a diet like this by my surgeon. However if you can get a copy or have a copy of the Book Before & After by Susan Marie Leach it has a suggested pre op diet in it and gives some explinations. It also has some really good post op recipies in the book also. Just finished reading it this week end and felt it was really good. Helped me calm some jitters I was having.
