Nisey==I so feel your pain==remember==I go in the day before you do! We are both going to do great! The reason they have you diet a few weeks is to decrease the size of your stomach and liver so there is less chance of injuring or nicking anything when they go in with the laparoscope. Big...

Nisey=I started my 2 week preop diet on Monday. The foods I purchased at my doctors office dont seem to be too bad and I have had no untoward side effects. The taste of it all isnt too bad and I have even found a few things I really like! From what I know I believe we stay 1 night in the...
