WOOHOOO Congratulations on your date. I hope to get my approval and a date soon. I noticed out on the main board you asked about a pre-op diet. Well of course I would say consult your surgeon first, but that being said I am on a preop diet to shrink my liver. It consists of 3- 8oz. Protein Shakes per day and then 3 pieces of meat per day the size of a deck of cards, and then 3- 1inch cubes of cheese or eggs, but only a total of 3 of these two mixed or matched. Can only cook with extra virgin olive oil, and of course 64 oz. of water per day. I get in all of my liquid and then some daily by haveing water, decaf tea, and Crystal Light. Then I also take 2 Centrum tablets per day 2 times a day. Well thats my diet. Good luck and keep us posted. Anita

I agree with Anita! Definitely talk to your doc... for my doc, the preop diet is 2 weeks of liquids only... then surgery, then two more weeks of liquids before advancing. Good Luck to you too Anita!
