Help, pre op stage
I began my liquid pre op diet may 31, I am 8 days in, I'm not losing weight but my clothes feel looser. I'm worried my liver won't shrink enough. I drink 2 protein shakes a day, plenty of water and eat a salad with a protein at dinner. I just dont feel like I can drink the 3rd protein drink. I feel full. Is this alright? Is it important to drink more protein then water? My VSG is the 14th. TIA

Your best bet is to call the surgeon's office and get a professional opinion. Maybe the doctor has specific guidelines s/he wants you to reach, maybe it's a "do your best and you'll be fine." No way to know unless you ask, and it's totally possible that a doctor, nurse, or PA can help you out over the phone.

You can make your own private group for people with your surgery month. I joined one when I had surgery and it was pretty helpful for the first few weeks!
