Question???

OK the nurse and my surgeon said that I didn't need to do anything special before surgery besides eat a low fat diet from now until surgery. I am already doing that. They said that way my liver won't be enlarged and the procedure could be done easier. Now my question is for all you post ops, Should I do the liquid diet for at least a week before surgery just to make sure I have the liver down or should I just do the low fat thing? Rocquetta

I think I would do what the Doctor says. I didnt have to do anything before surgery but Dr.C has changed since then. I think I just made it . I know my son did the liquid and lost alot of weight. Good luck to you and listen to your doctor. Love,Cindy

Thank you Cindy. Rocquetta

as everyone else said, just follow your NUT's and surgeons agenda. However the liquid diet is really totally up to you that week, since Dr. White says, low fat.. it'll accustom you to the only liquid phase and start the weight loss. In fact it's a good idea to protein up that week before, helps the healing process. hugs,

Thanks Vickie, You always seem to have an answer for me. I will see you Monday. Rocquetta
