I am also wishing for your sucess at the wls you are about to prepare for . 1st the low fat diet that you are instucted to follow is so your liver may shrink making it easier for the sugeon to work on you . 2nd It's always better to sip slowly to avoid that " overly full feeling " if you chug anything you run the risk of bringing it right back up . Vomitting is no fun at all !!!! In advance Happy Birhtday and " HAPPY NEW BIRTHDAY " I hope you have a blessed day too Best wishes , and be well Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi Joy! I am so sorry to hear about your mom!! Your in m prayers. As for the questions: The liver shrinking diet is when you drink this stuff that helps shrink your liver so that the doctors can move around it to do the surgery. I had to do this two days before surgery. Yes it is important tht you sip. The water will make you sick if you drink it too fast. It still can if your not careful and i am 6 mo. out. Best WIshes!!!!

I have a surgery date Sept 14th. My birthday is Sept 3rd so it my birthday gift to myself. I have a couple of questions 1. what is a liver shrinking diet? 2. Do you get sick if you drink too much water to fast or is it really necessary to take small sips? Have a Blessed Day Joy __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
