don't know what to do- please advise
1. Every doc is different so you will get a lot of different answers. SOOOO for this one your doc is the best one to ask. A lot want you to lose to shrink the liver so they can do LAP better. 2. Again every doc is different a lot do put on you liquid 2 weeks before. Mine didn't I could have whatever I wanted up till midnight the night before. SOOOOO again aks your doc to see what they want. 3. Any wright you lose now is GREAT and you can start trying to work out some even if it's just a 5-10 min walk. 4. I sound like a borken record but again every doc is different and everyone is different. At the very least you will need a GOOD mulit Vitamin, and Calcium CITRIAT. some people will need iron and B12 as well as other. You don't need to get the most costly I get most of mine from WalMart or KMart when they have Buy one Get one FREE. Again your doc should give you a list of what they want you to take and then check your labs at about 6 mos and 12 mons and then adjust from there.
