fatty liver, DIET?????????

We just resent all my information to the ins co. they now want all the office notes from the 6 month dietician plan, I have been told that once I have approval surgery is only 2 weeks out, I already know I have fatty liver, so should I start a high protein diet or just see what they say? I just know I will have a hard time trying to meet any weight loss goal pre op.

Erin.. how does one know if they have a fatty liver??? I was told if I wanted my RNY to be laperscoptic ( or however you spell it) that you should eat high protien, low carb ( eat good carbs!) 2 weeks before.. thats why I started yesterday.....

Atkins here I come.............Again.

Hi! I have a friend that started the high protien diet about a month or two before her surgery and she swears by it. She said that she hasn't had any problems and she believes its b/c of the low carb high protien diet. I go next week for my pre-pre-op appointment and I have already started on an increase protien intake. It couldn't hurt to get a head start huh? Kim

Boy is it hard!!! I fell off the wagon already, and it has not even been 48 hours.... chocolate is evil.

Might I also recommend starting a multi vitamin. Give your body some reserves to work off of ya know? Kia 284/199/155

D. Austin Hi! Wish to advise you on what my wls doctor, Dr. Ma****xplained to me about an oversize liver. He stated that sugar causes your liver to enlarge & he instructed me to start using a substitue sugar like splendia and once I discontinued sugar that my liver would reduce back to normal size. If your liver is too large they cannot perform the surgery; so as of today; I am offering friendly advise to you to discontinue sugar. Also, no more cokes, even the diet ones or any other carbonated drinks, the carbonation stretches your new stomach & you will gain the weight loss back. Email me if you have questions. By the way once I discontinued the sugar & sodas, I lost 24lbs before surgery. Learn to love water it helps you lose weight as well as yogurt & skim milk. Stay in touch. From size 26/28 to size 10; from 310lbs to 159lbs.
