I've Got a Date!! And Question about Protein

I'm so excited to say I've got a DATE! July 7!!! My question is this: I keep reading on this board about increasing protein intake prior to surgery - I'm not looking for opinions, as much as experience. Did you do it, and what was your experience - did you heal/recover faster than normal, etc.?

Well, congratulations on your surgery date.  You will be having your surgery a week  before I have mine...maybe we can try and keep in touch.  As for the protein question, I am not sure about that.  When I had my first surgery last year I did go on a "liver shrink" diet which was basically Atkins (high protein low carb)...I lost 23 lbs before surgery.

thanks for answering! yes, lets' keep in touch...
