pre op weight loss

How much weight is expected to be lost with the pre op diet?

   Hi Deanna, I didn't go to Dr. Steiner, so I don't know what he expects as far as weight loss on the pre-op diet.... but I just wanted to stop by and say Hi!    

Hi Chris, Thanks for the support... just getting nervous that something will get messed up!!  Just trying to make sure i am doing things right.

Dr. Steiner never gave me a certain amount of weight to lose. He just asked me to do the low carb diet in order to shrink my liver. Not to scare you or anything, but he did actually postpone my surgery when I gained a few pounds back after Christmas. (I was originally scheduled for Jan. 8th, but he postponed me til Jan. 26th.) Just keep at it and try your best. =)

I had been concerned after talking to NUT, that if i wasnt doing the diet correctly( I am trying), but i dont really understand what i am doing....I am not eating bread and am eating alot of meats but do you weigh out what you are eating or if its no carbs then can you have all of it you want? I am drinking my protein shakes for breakfast, is that right to substitute for a meal or should i eat and drink the protein shake?  I do not feel that the list i received was specific enough for me.
