yup.. it sucks.
But just try and do the best that YOU can do. Anything you're doing is going to help shrink that liver, but try to stick with the liquids as much as you can.
REALLY important to do nothing but the liquids as directed i'd say for at LEAST 3-4 days prior to surgery to make sure your system is all sorted out. The diet is supposed to dramatically shrink the liver, but it also helps to keep the digestive track clear and moving easily in preparation for all the changes to come.
My mom lost 17 lbs before her surgery date and Dr Wagner was pleased and had no problems. I'm down somewhere around 10-11 lbs at this point, and anything more is only going to help.
It's tough tough tough. But I can FEEL the weight loss already and loving it. even 10 lbs and my clothes are fitting a bit better and my jeans are looser and longer hehe.
only another 6 1/2 more days to the start of a new life. We can both do this!
Besides, I need someone to walk the halls with after surgery, so you best be there!
