what happened?

Hey Susie!!!  I don't know too much about this liquid diet but I do know that it HAS to be water weight.  If you're not eating then there are no calories and no lbs packing on.  Honey I wouldn't worry too much if you don't loose another # before surgery because AFTER surgery you'll be shirinking before your very eyes.  You won't even notice and then out of the blue someone will mention something different about you and you'll be like WOW I really am getting smaller.  You're gonna do just fine I have no doubt about it.  I can't wait to get to call you a LOSER  if you need to talk feel free to call me.  Next time you go to a meeting somewhere I'd like to go with ya---I didn't realize you were going to COF or I would have went with ya.  Glad you had a good time though.  9 more days!!!

Are you drinking the slimfast low carb?  I once went on a slimfast diet and gained 7 lbs. lol...My doc said it was because of the sugars in the regular slimfast. just keep thinking you are doing this to shrink your liver so the doc will have an easier time of it during the surgery, that is what I kept on my mind. Good luck and eat lots of sf popsicles..

Susie, this is Dr. H.  We're not trying to lose weight with this regimen.  We're just trying to shrink the liver to enhance your safety.  Don't worry about weight; that's not the point!  Stay with the recommendations, drink plenty of zero-calorie fluids, and I promise you it will shrink your liver to maximize your safety.  Put your scales away until one month after surgery.  No one cares; promise!  Sincerely, Phillip M. Hornbostel, M.D.

I sure wish I had Dr H as my doc.  I don't even think my doc remembers my name lol.  You're awesome Dr H.

 Was thinking the exact same thing.I have only met my surgeon once at that was probably 10 min at most. Dr H sounds wonderful and his wife Margie too. Those who have him as their dr are truely blessed..

I totally agree!!  I'm sooo jealous lol

LOL me too.Think if we have a tantrum hewould take us too LOL

I say we give it a try lol I did meet him at a seminar but I was over the weight limit for him and his staff but I soooo love him at the seminar and so wanted it to be him that did my surgery---but at that point in my life---I knew it was something I had to do right away---I had to save my life or I wouldn't be here right now.  I love Dr H and he's not even my doc lol.
